That’s an astonishingly high number. We also know of many partnerships that never worked out, so the fact that we’ve managed to work together peacefully for over five years without strangling each other? There must be someone above watching over us. There’s no other explanation. Beyah is extroverted, outgoing, loud, and extreme. I’m quiet, reserved, serious, and introverted . . . yet we work well together. We’ve had our fair share of arguments and quarrels, yes, but we always managed to work past them. In the five years we’ve worked together, we’ve come to realize that our strong differences in perspectives are what make the partnership special. At the end of the day, no matter the disagreement, we’ve managed to maintain an unspoken bond that’s tailored around building the dream. While there are plenty of pros and cons to having a business partner, we will never regret partnering with each another. Our differing personalities have ultimately made MILK+T the company it is today—from accidentally inventing the Sip ’N’ Dip (page 127) to having drink names that make zero sense, like the Area 51 (page 94). MILK+T began as a church pop-up in 2015, and little did we know it would be the start of something we never could have imagined. But before we begin, let’s discuss some terminology: BOBA are those delectably sweet and chewy tapioca balls. PEARLS\/TAPIOCA are other names for boba. BUBBLE TEA is the beverage (aka delivery method) for those chewy tapioca balls. TOPPINGS: BASIL SEEDS Basil seeds, also known as Sabja seeds, are little black seeds that closely resemble black sesame. These tiny seeds pack a punch in terms of nutrition and make a great add-on or topping to any drink and dessert. Not only are they low in calories, but they’re chock-full of fiber, protein, calcium, iron, and magnesium. There’s so much fiber inside these little guys, experts have cautioned against eating too many! So be careful and consume sparingly. When mixed with water, the basil seeds form a clear outer layer around their tiny bodies. This creates a crunchy effect that’s fun to eat and slurp up with boba drinks!
