What do you do when two of your bicycles are stolen? How do you live with it? What do you do in order to solve this problem?

Our team on the way to Rustaveli

I don’t know about you, but we just tried our luck in tea selling business in Tbilisi, Georgia. So, what do you have to do in order to sell tea and coffee in the centre of Tbilisi? Here is our beginners guide in how to start your own tea selling business.

Optimus fuel stove – engine of the business

First of all you have to find a way how to introduce the local community with your business and with your story – we gathered pieces of cardboard and wrote about our adventure and the incident in Crimea. After you have done this, the next step would be to find a suitable place where you can approach your customers – we chose a place next to the Rustaveli Metro station. Last, but not least, you need to gather the needed equipment – a portable stove, a kettle, tea and/or coffee, water and some courage. When you have taken care of all of the previously mentioned aspects, all you have to do is to enjoy the show.
