At 24, many of that age are still trying to figure out their career path. But for Jeannie Poon, she was heavily investing in the stock market at that time and wanted to start up her own business.

Due to the “low entry barrier” of the food and beverage (F&B) industry, Jeannie — together with her two other business partners, one of which is her boyfriend — decided to head into this direction.

Without much research or planning, they took over a bubble tea shop in Serangoon in May 2018, hoping to strike it big, especially considering the bubble tea craze in Singapore.

“All three of us are avid travelers and our original idea is to create and sell drinks representing various regions and countries to (customers), integrating the travel element in the drinks creation,” said Jeannie, co-founder of Teahee SG.

They also had a mocktail series that’s named after scenic representations of different countries and regions, such as Okinawa Sunset. The colourful layers represented that of a sunset, and pineapple was used as the main ingredient, which represents Okinawa’s landmark, Pineapple Town.

Bubble tea is just a modification to the original "teh tarek". With all kinds of weird flavours mixed in. I would just stick to the original and not waste on adding other flavours which onky add to complexity, cost and misery.
On this lady, she already has the experience from previous failure to teach.

I do not agree this is “low entry barrier” of the food and beverage (F&B) industry

Jeannie — You not suitable for this industry
