Marketing Efforts = Fun!


As you all know from my recent marketing efforts, I have expanded my personal training business to include private studio training.  Yesterday I decided to take my marketing to the streets and visit with the local business owners that surround the fitness studio.  This was a time consuming process, but oh so worth it!  Everyone I talked to was very kind, some were a little surprised, and others were very open and shared great details about their business and wares. 

One such business owner was Gregg, owner of MingMing Tea.  Gregg and his wife MingMing have been in business since 2010.  These two met years ago when Gregg was an airline pilot and MingMing would fly to China to visit her family. MingMing’s family owns and operates a Tea Plantation and claim this plantation has been in their family for 300 years. 

If you are a tea connoisseur you have to stop by MingMing Tea. Heck, even if you aren’t a tea connoisseur you should stop in. 

This little store is packed with premium tea leaves hand picked by MingMing’s family.  The tea is fresh and organic.  They also offer a large selection of  Puer teas.  Peur tea leaves are hand picked then dried for years.  Gregg showed me a brick of Puer tea that was picked in 1953.  He even let me sample a Jasmine Peur Tea.  It tasted very nice, not bitter like some teas can be. Peur tea has been touted as a healthy tea for hundreds of years by the Chinese because it supports a healthy digestive system and studies have shown it can lower cholesterol and blood pressure. 

Both Gregg and MingMing are very health conscious.  The majority of their products are geared towards a healthy life style, weight loss, healthy immune systems and so on. 

While at the shop, Gregg let me taste a handful of Goji Berries too.  Yummy!

I learned so much and can honestly say I had fun!  I look forward to visiting MingMing Tea again soon.

If you want to broaden your horizons and tempt your taste buds with healthy organic teas, go to MingMing Tea at 7214 Central Ave in St. Petersburg.  Tell Gregg that Michelle sent you.
