Some of the best ideas are born from personal traditions… things you never imagine will be a business.
That’s what happened with 32-year-old Sashee Chandran and her multi-million dollar tea startup.
Sashee grew up drinking tea and surrounded by people drinking tea. To connect with one another. To relax at the end of the day. And she brought this into her adult life. She never imagined tea would become the core of her business!
Today, we’re talking with Sashee about the entire process of creating her product and where her business is today…
If you’re thinking about starting a product based business, do not miss this episode! There are so many nuggets of insight and information!
Let’s get started…
Here’s where our conversation takes us:
-
Why she first created a Tea Drop

Trademark, patents, and legal stuff

For Sashee, tea is the drink of her life. She has fond family memories, of gathering around the kettle. When she’s alone she uses tea as her permission to take a deep breath and relax, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Now she’s using her power as a millennial woman to push the past into the future and become the household tea brand that stands for community values, self-care and fun/unique experiences for the millennial generation.
