Best comment. And these guys were really nice and professional despite the initial lighthearted setback (and the clickbait title)

Yeah some spoilers say what dragons are investing so I'm already like well its a good product and buisness and they got offers sooooo I don't really need to watch cause I already know it's good.

The brand is not important matcha is . They are correct . People focus on ingredients more than the brand and when they love it they focus on the brand

[@sws212]

You can't trademark a known ingredient very well. Copycats will eventually appear and It'll likely be outclassed by a larger brand at some point offering the same thing with stronger marketing particularly when they need to shift the attraction from the ingredient to their own name brand.

Nothing is ever going to replace coffee. Tea has been around for centuries, it's a popular drink. But it's not coffee and it never will be. There are countries were they drink more tea than coffee but that's traditional tea. A canned tea won't replace coffee and their feels like an energy juice with tea, which might have its audience but it won't replace coffee.

[@MF_JONES]

They didn't say they would replace coffee. They said it's for people who get jitters, crashes, or exacerbated anxiety from coffee. A tiny fraction of the coffee market would make them millions

[@hellegennes]

@@MF_JONES Those people already drink something else, though. It's not a free space. They are up against other teas, energy drinks, juices, soft drinks. The beverage industry is massive but also incredibly crowded.
