Tealicious! – Weekly Update

Green Teas

I’ve been slowing down on the updating, but I have still been busy nonetheless.

I suppose the main thing that I have been making progress with this week has been on my tea biz which I will release in a week or two.

Film

Second day of shooting for this Borat like pilot/webisode I am shooting. I actually had a chance to banter with my australian lead actor (that I play his personal documentarian) and the dialogue started getting ridiculous. I am enjoying the project more and more.

Tea

Received chocolates. Took product pictures. Thurs and Fri I updated the site by putting up product descrīptions and organizing the categories. The whole weekend I also updated the various label colors/sizes/descrīption for different flavors. It was a little tedious, but it was work that needed to be done. I sent the labels to our label maker.

Beverage

Talking with partners on going to mixing site to get 100 bottles filled as samples. I have also been refining this label, but am considering going with a professional designer. Also was debating on our target market- whether it should be very broad, broad within a niche, or VERY niche. I think I have my decision, but I will run it by my partners. Other than that- we just need to decide on name and label and go to the mixing house. This is one of my projects that I consider has some of the most longterm growth potential.

Other Biz

Might set up a dropship biz with another friend. This should take a week to get off the ground and this will serve more as a learning experience and to see how fast we can get an ecommerce up. I already setup the domain, cart, and theme.

Wushu

Tues. and Sun. I had private lessons with a new student that wanted to learn wushu and acrobatics. He had years training shaolin and a little bit of wushu before. He also does cross country and so he has a lot of endurance. So far I am enjoying training him because he is really dedicated and willing to push himself to improve. Going forward I will be teaching him weekly.

As far as my own training I believe I skipped wushu twice last week and on the days that I did train I did not train as long as usual. I did push myself more on friday and saturday because I felt I havent been training as hard as I should be. I’ve been making sure to land everything consistently and tweak some things, but haven’t made any major changes since team trials.

Misc

My brother dropped by LA unexpectedly so that sort of threw me for a loop. He crashed at my place and Wed we went to a lounge together. He also came to 99 wushu with me once. After World Games I am hoping to spar more and learn jiu jitsu more.

Friday I went to Apple Lounge with Hue. Saturday had lunch with my roomie Eliver along with Lianne Lin and Asia “not-the-pornstar” Eng. At night, I went to a bday dinner and Area.
