How to Open a Tea Business - Part II

[@nannuoshan]

We have a winner! Marco guesses 75 € which is very close to the average order of 2020: 74.13 €.

[@jeanettegirosky7735]

That's close to what I guessed while watching. I try and do a largish order because of shipping costs....but when you take the average with smaller orders that would make sense. I'm still determined to try and start a business. I love this tea too much and NO ONE in my area has any idea about Chinese tea let alone good tea! Thank you again for these videos....it's been helpful to organize myself.

Thank you for generously sharing this information and your experiences!

[@pendekarLinggis]

thank you very much is too little for your free insights. I come from IT background with no knowledge whatsoever about tea, but i love to drink tea. your insights helps our tea startup to get its machine running.

[@ehhnikola93]

ah amazing! thank you so much again and again for this invaluable information and help

[@nannuoshan]

Glad to see that many are trying to guess! We Wil way some more attempts and then either reveal the winner or give more advice. Btw, we should mention that we are speaking only on orders placed online. Larger orders placed via email to get the 10% discount and wholesale orders are excluded,

Thank you!!!

Thank you, Gabriele, for your generous sharing and dedication to tea education. I would love to hear your viewers guesses on which tea companies represent the budget logo, the hipster logo, the farmer logo, and the traditional logo. :) Also, what did Caroline say about the mysterious oolong?

[@nannuoshan]

Hi Marcus, the mysterious Oolong was King's 913 by TenRen, a very large Taiwanese tea company; here the same tea from this year: www.tenren.com/kings-913.html. The one I stole from Caroline was the 2018's one, that she received as a present from a Taiwanese friend. It is a Taiwan Oolong mildly scented with ginseng. Caroline told me that TenRen features a series of tea scented with Ginseng at different intensity and the one she got is only slightly scented, which is also how it is described in the link above... Nonetheless I personally prefer by far unscented tea and the "little" scent felt to my tongue as an offtaste... but, well, it's just a matter of taste. As for which companies represent the image and message that I described, I prefer not to share my opinion on that. The reason is that when I speak about competitors I strive to give only positive messages that can reinforce and benefit the tea community. That doesn't mean that I have only positive opinions about all tea shops on this world, just that I prefer sharing only the positive ones. Those images and messages are my personal interpretation of the tea companies and I am not 100% sure that the owners would agree with my view.

[@marcusyoung5440]

@@nannuoshan thanks, Gabriele. I was just teasing and tempting other viewers to speculate about the mystery companies in some clean fun, certainly not asking you to reveal anything. Agreed, staying positive is the way to go.

[@12freddy89]

Your tea pot is very beautiful. Is it also for sale? If so, where and for how much can we buy it? If not, could you anyway tell us about the manufacturer ;-) Much appreciated!

[@nannuoshan]

Unfortunately is not for sale. We were sourcing teaware in Jingdezhen and one of the artist we were talking to had this teapot on the desk. We simply said that we liked it and we got it as a present soon after (or we paid a very little amount for it, not sure). Sometimes going on teaware hunting has some positive side effects for our own private teaware collection :-)

[@DrSp4nk]

Thanks for all the great info! My guess is 93 euro

[@nannuoshan]

So far no one guessed within 3 euro of the average order... But someone got really close to it...

[@ElSc0r]

My guess for the average order would be 22€. Quite hard to guess but I think it's definitely lower than one would expect it to be.

[@nannuoshan]

Tha k you for trying out Rickman. The average order is higher than 22 €. Let's see if anyone guesses it.

[@z.zipu_tea]

78 euros! just thinking about the average i spend :)

[@sanjeewanalin9186]

I have Salon herbal organic flower tea you can help with me

[@svennoxhb]

I think it is 30 Euro because of free shipping then

[@nannuoshan]

Certainly good to think at the free shipping, but unfortunately (or fortunately for nannuoshan) it is higher than 30 Euro. Thank you anyway.

[@nannuoshan]

Still no one guesses yet within 3 euro, but some of you got really close... Keep in trying!

[@marconuzzaci9127]

75€ average order value 👌

[@nannuoshan]

And the winner is... Marco! 74.13 € as of this morning. Please send us an email at [e-mail] to redeem your voucher.

[@TeaOnPaper]

I would guess 66€ as an avarage

[@nannuoshan]

Good try,but not within 3 euro of the average in 2020. Thank you anyway.

[@TeaOnPaper]

nannuoshan above 50 because of the free sample - below 100 because it’s a sensitive point to go into 3 digits for buying tea

[@nannuoshan]

TeaOnPaper that's a good reasoning, although you should consider that 10 euro voucher on orders above 100 euro are a good incentive.

[@TeaOnPaper]

nannuoshan mhh that’s true, but it’s still an avarage right? If the avarage has 3 digits than - i guess - really only tea nerds shop at nannuoshan :P

[@nannuoshan]

I think most of nannuoshan customers are indeed tea freaks 😊, but I didn't wanted to say it is above 100 euro (maybe) just that there are many aspects that come into play and shall be considered. For example customers that are aware of the tea deals place very large orders via email to get 10% off in addition to the 10 euro voucher, thus decreasing the average online order... Although not all are aware of this tea deal.

[@ArnoPeck]

37€

[@jhs1710]

70€ average order value is my guess.

[@nannuoshan]

Good try,but not within 3 euro of the average in 2020. Thank you anyway.

[@mario7027]

My guess is €60

[@pseudohase]

[@KnappUntermDach]

[@vitamasaliene9021]

[@jorgefloresvillar2168]

[@nannuoshan]

Good try,but not within 3 euro of the average in 2020. Thank you anyway.
