Crea8tive Tea LLC is a startup business Panama, Panama City. The main objective of Crea8tive Tea is to serve the freshest Bubble Tea and desserts using the finest possible ingredients in the market by providing different flavors targeted towards the Asian and non-Asian Panamanian market. We will provide products that are natural and of high quality to cater the segment of the population that seeks a gastronomical journey. The Bubble Tea beverage & dessert industry is currently booming and there is an opportunity to leverage this moment and maximize our profits. Fortunately, Bubble Tea is not that known yet, especially for the non-Asian population. Most of the Bubble Tea Shops prepare their drinks with additives and non-natural ingredients that are harmful to our health and Crea8tive wants to target this market. An initial investment of $28,000 is required to start the business and our initial capital investment is of $50,000 funded by two business partners. Based on the financial section, starting from year 2 we will start to see our Return on Investment (ROI). It is important to keep in mind that there is still a risk that Bubble Tea might not be a drink that can be quickly accepted by the non-Asian segment because it is a niche market. On the other hand, our marketing know-how and assorted flavors targeted to the non-Asian Panamanians will be a solution to this challenge and become leaders in the industry.

Burbuchá will be a local, innovative and new concept located at the biggest private university in Central America where its students have an income between US$600 and US$1,200 providing a high quality product with locally produced and imported goods in order to provide the traditionally recognized Taiwanese drinks adjusted to the local taste. Burbuchá expects to open two kiosks during the first year at the two most important universities in the country and it also expects to penetrate 7% of the market by using among other strategies social media and vibrant promotions to foster trial and boost sales. Burbuchá will set a price below the ones of the coffee shops mainly because the main purpose is to increase the willingness of a market that is a coffee consumer to shift and try the tea based beverages. The initial investment required is US$ 61,390.00 which is going to be funded from the owner’s capital and a bank loan. Burbuchá kioks has a positive Net Present Value which indicates that the project is feasible. Burbuchá expects to expand to other markets in a period of 3 to 5 years through the franchise system. Its priority markets in the region are El Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama.
