Black Momma Tea & Cafe: The Starbucks of the Tea Industry!

I have died and gone to Black Momma heaven! I mean I love cinnamon and I knew I would love this cinnamon agave, but my goodness -- it's not just the combination, it's the agave itself that tastes amazing. I've had many other agaves and this one is just so smooth. I had to stop myself from drinking it with a spoon. It's like crack! So good.

I was fortunate enough to sit next to the founder on a plane. So no, I don't know her. But after listening to her talk about it, I had to try some because it sounded amazing... and it is!! I've used it in a variety of ways for cooking, and my friends have also asked "What's that?" because it elevates whatever you're eating! I'm a new devoted fan! Healthier than sugar for sweetening. Pure ingredients. Bonus: she's one of the nicest people I've ever met. Makes sense she's created such a wonderful product.

Investor Q&A

Expand all

What does your company do?

We are purveyors of teas from different countries. We source directly from the plantation, so there's no middleman. Black Momma Tea & Cafe is the physical extension of our existing brands: Black Momma Vodka, Black Momma Tea, Black Momma Agave, and Black Momma Mixers, which currently have 26,000 total customers and totaled $2.5 million in online sales last year. We're building two locations in N.Y. to create physical extensions of our e-commerce business and to jump-start our expansion.

Where will your company be in 5 years?

In five years, we hope to have 500 Black Momma Tea & Cafes that will consist of corporate stores, franchises, and licensed units. In addition, we are striving to be listed on a major exchange in the future which will allow for further expansion globally. This growth will create jobs, collaboration with new small businesses and help expand small manufacturers within the Food & Beverage industry.

What does Black Momma Tea and Cafe do?

Black Momma Tea and Cafe is essentially the Starbucks of the tea industry. Starbucks is pretty good at sourcing coffee. Similarly, we are purveyors of tea. We source tea from different plantations and co-ops throughout the world and import it to the US. We're also the manufacturer and the distributor. So why not expand into the retail and control the entire chain so there is no middleman! We are changing the market in terms of how people enjoy tea. We already manufacture Black Momma Vodka, Chai Tea Vodka, Green Tea Vodka, Black Momma Cinnamon Agave, and Hibiscus Agave. We make our own biodegradable tea bags, and we have a patented product that's a biodegradable Nespresso compatible pod. We source Organic and Gluten-Free products, we are Kosher-certified and Non-GMO.

You have a lot of brands within the bigger brand. Are you raising money for the bigger brand or are you raising money for the teas?

We're raising money so that Black Momma Tea & Cafe will have a physical location which is the extension of the bigger brand. Just like how Amazon started online and now their building stores. We're going to have our own brick & mortar stores carrying our products that we first starting selling online. We already have 27,000 customers buying our brands online. We're not reinventing the wheel, but each cafe is meant to have a liquor license so we won’t just be serving tea. We're also going to serve Black Momma's Agave. It’s a complete experience with Black Momma Tea and Cafe, and we're seeking funding to build two individual flagship stores. Each location will have a meeting space allowing customers to have private meetings for business and community use. In addition, we are selling food & beverages from local vendors and small manufacturers. Essentially, collaborating will create more manufacturing and more jobs. As Black Momma Tea & Cafe grow and expand, so will these small businesses. We will grow together!

What are your plans to go beyond these first two physical stores?

We're definitely going to franchise the stores once we build the first two brick-and-mortar locations. We have 293 requests from individuals interested in becoming a Franchisee and those requests came from our existing 27,000 + customers. Black Momma Tea & Café can currently franchise is in 31 States. We are currently moving forward in registering our Franchise Disclosure Documents in the remaining states which requires registration in the US. In addition, we plan to build additional corporate stores around the US and in the UK. Future outlook locations of our corporate stores in New Jersey, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, California, Texas, and Oregon. These locations will fortify a standard with our franchisees so they will also have a place to see the working model and for training purposes.

What will it cost to launch the first two stores?

I'm a retired structural engineer, so I know construction very well. Each location will probably be a build-out between $450,000. and $550,000 for the standalone building with a drive-thru. The second location build out for the inline 3500 sq. ft space will be approximately $295,000. We want minimal debt that can bring something back in terms of shareholders value or profitability.

What are your current online sales figures?

Black Momma Tea & Cafe is a startup. We intend to move our online and channel sales of $2.5 million to the BMTC company. This will generate additional revenue and awareness of Black Momma Tea and Café stores.

What's new about what you're making? How is it different?

We're different because if you tear open a tea bag right now, you're going to get dust. Those are not tea leaves, that's the dust and leftovers of the actual tea leaves. It's called fanning. People want full tea leaves, but you're not able to get that with the existing tea bags in your average supermarket. In addition, those tea bags have chlorine and chemicals that you are literally dipping into your water. With Black Momma Teas, you're getting the full tea leaves and antioxidants. Also, our tea bags are bio-degradable, non-GMO, and made with plant-based materials. That's the future of the market! People are getting healthier and concerned about what they're putting in their bodies. All of our products are along that same line with that mission. We're creating a national brand that doesn't already exist as a chain or franchise. Starbucks has over 27,000 stores worldwide. The business model works, but we can do it better with teas. We have tea blends created within our own manufacturing facility and make everything for the tea lover. Most people will only drink one cup of coffee, but they will drink tea all day long. We offer Boba Tea, Sweet Tea, SmoothTeas (TM), Tea Pops (TM), Chai Tea Cookies, Black Momma Agave, Black Momma Chai Tea Vodka, Black Momma Green Tea Vodka, Black Momma Pomegranate Tea Vodka, Black Momma Peach Tea Vodka, and Black Momma Sour Sop Tea Vodka. We manufacture with an exclusive patented material of our own bio-degradable non-GMO tea bags, which hold whole tea leaves, eliminating the use of a tea steeper. In addition, there will be food and pastries sourced from local and approved vendors.

What were your strategies for making your vodka business succeed?

Engaging directly with the customers at a tasting, international distribution, and having distribution with one of the largest distributors out there, Southern Wines and Spirits. I received a grant from the US government to represent the U.S. at the Hong Kong Wine & Spirits Festival. This exposure allowed other countries to taste Black Momma Vodka and the opportunity to export to their countries. I've been doing a lot of international work. I have a representative in France and Hong Kong. I'm in several restaurants in throughout the U.S. -- Albertson's and the State of Virginia were my first clients, and it expanded from there. We use tea leaves to manufacture our Chai Tea Vodka, Green Tea Vodka, Peach Tea Vodka, and Pomegranate Tea Vodka. This eliminated the use of chemicals and acids which are found in other brands. People don't understand that when people talk about “natural flavors,” those are chemicals. I was going to do a peach vodka or peach spirit and during the testing, I accidentally dripped the flavoring liquid on my paper and it burned a hole through it! That's when I decided that there has to be a different way other than using synthetic flavoring. If I can't drink it, I won't sell it! My motto is, "Made by a woman, for women, but still strong enough for any man." I cater to a lot of women, because as we get older, our body changes. I like to drink. I’d like to continue to drink, but women are very different from men. Women also now have more discretionary income. They have the largest purchasing power. I know because as a mom and a wife, I do all of the purchasing in my household. I always had adverse issues with drinking particular liquor, and now I know why. It was because of the chemicals. You can look at a particular brand. I don't want to name the brand, but everybody knows they have propylene glycol in the product. That's antifreeze. You don't need to have products that have chemicals in them, especially with our alcohol. Alcohol is already a chemical on its own. It does enough harm if you drink too much of it, but when you have organic and it's infused and you don't have added chemicals and added acids, you get a better effect so you won't have the hangovers. We’re not drinking our parent's liquor anymore. This new generation is careful about what they're putting into their bodies because they want to have a long, healthy life and still have a good time. I stress that people should know what they're drinking. Find out if there are chemicals in it and find out if it's made with natural ingredients.

What made you want to pivot from vodka to tea?

When I decided that I wasn't going to use chemicals in my products, I started testing my favorite tea. Tea is a natural brewing agent and it has antioxidants in it, so I thought why not infuse what you're making, the vodka, with the tea. I started infusing natural tea leaves, and I was buying so many kilos of tea from the plantation that I had all of this leftover tea. What do I do? I decided to sell the tea. So now I have Black Momma Tea. The customers loved the tea. So I started researching and working with the plantation, learning about all these different tea blends. I sold a lot of green tea and pomegranate tea in California. From that, I was going to make a Black Momma Syrup Mixer. I hired a company to be my co-packer because I didn't have my facility yet. I wanted to make something as an ancillary product so if people are buying the vodka they can also get my mix syrup. Then I found out that the mix syrups had a lot of chemicals in them. I started experimenting to make my own Black Momma Syrup Mixer. I had a small fire, and Voila! I developed Black Momma Flavored Agave by accident!

Who are your competitors? How are you different?

Starbucks and smaller tea shops. What makes us different is that we manufacture our own proprietary products. We purchase from gardens directly so there's no middle man. We, cut sift, blend and manufacture our own non-GMO tea bags, which are exclusive and patented. We also manufacture our flavored agave as well as our own tea vodka (our secret blend). In addition, we are organic, kosher, vegan and gluten-free with the majority of our products. Also, we will source products and services with local and small businesses. We are implementing meeting spaces in our stores for community and business use.

How do you acquire customers?

We currently have an existing customer base that already purchases the brand. The physical location and the potential franchises will give greater visibility to the brand. We will use social media campaigns, direct customers engagement via email and through our website, hold specific events within the community, send direct mailers within the vicinity, local radio and local TV networks, and most importantly, use our existing customers as brand ambassadors and affiliates.

How will you make money?

We will generate revenue via the sale of our products served and for resale within the corporate stores. In addition, we will franchise to create more jobs and new small businesses which will expand the need for more small manufacturers in the US. Franchises are available thus far in the following States: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia (DC), Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, W. Virginia, and Wyoming. It's the intent of each franchise location to possess a liquor license depending on the state and location. In addition, we have applied to incorporate Amazon Lockers at each location with the intent to sell advertising space on the facades of the Lockers. Therefore, upon completion of our buildout, we will generate revenue immediately.

What are your sales numbers over the last year?

It's better than I expected. I didn't even launch the Agave until March. Every time I turned around someone asked me for the Agave. We put it on Amazon and now I'm selling it wholesale. It’s very popular online and in supermarkets. One of our wholesale customers has several locations where they make vegan donuts and they order cases every week. There's vendor in Kansas City who buys my Chai Tea and my Agave to make Chai Tea cookies and Chai Tea zucchini bread.

What are your profit margins?

The margins are there when you're the manufacturer and distributor. It is a beautiful thing. That's why I see the success in Black Momma Tea and Cafes. We are exploring the opportunity for our potential Franchisees to have their own wholesale division. We sell to them at cost plus and they will sell wholesale; they can sell specific approved products to local small businesses and restaurants within a certain radius.

How did you come to start these businesses in the first place?

I'm a retired structural civil engineer and construction manager for the government. I used to manage $350 million annually for construction contracts and projects. I was also elected as VP of Business Development for the Conference of Minority Transportation Officials for New York. I did 20 years of engineering and construction helping people and businesses get government contracts. I built a Burger King franchise 22 years ago as a woman-owned minority contractor. I was the first African American woman to build a Burger King in New York. In addition, I was the construction manager of Red's Restaurant in Manhattan. I've developed an extensive background not just in government, but also in construction and business. The liquor company was started for the legacy of my children. When I started to see the market change, a lot of my customers kept asking if they could invest. I kept saying no! They loved the brand and wanted to be involved. Then it hit me, and that's when I started Black Momma Tea and Cafe in August 2017. I've already started the architectural floor plans with the conceptual design. The vision is already there, I can see it! Now it's all coming to fruition with our customers and investors taking this entrepreneur journey with us to the next level.

Why did you choose the liquor business after you retired as an engineer?

My grandmother used to make wine in her kitchen, and when you are distilling and blending spirits, you always need an engineer. It's a science. You're putting formulas together. I've always wanted to have my own liquor and one that is better than something like Kettle One, which I used to be a loyalist of. After I retired, we lived in California, which we loved because the liquor license laws are beautiful. California is definitely a state that helps businesses get off the ground with innovative ideas. The opportunity came about in church. My husband was in a men's group and he happened to ask one of the guys what he did for a living. He said he sells spirits and was trying to get a government contract. My husband suggested he talk to me because I was connected to the government. That's how the issue came up, and I started asking him questions. I ended up getting my license because I was already retired, then I decided to call a couple of people that I knew who could explain the process. I filled out the application, and I got my license within three months. It didn't take me long because I was already cleared in the government system. I knew someone who was having a hard time with the distillery they were starting, so I suggested we partner up. And voila. You spend money, but then you make money. You also form great relationships with the people in other businesses. A lot of research has gone into it. I have a team, and I have other affiliates just as I've got salespeople who are passionate about it. I've always catered to women because I look at it as a woman just like myself. You won't see Black Momma Vodka in a club. I'm almost 50. I'm not going to be at the club shaking my booty. We're not in that space. We are the soccer moms and the young women who are the new professional women that come out of college and just want to drink high-quality liquor. We have discretionary income, so I'll be making another brand for those women 21 to 28. That's the college crowd. That'll be like Vodka 101 or something to that effect. The pricing for Black Momma Vodka is $33 per bottle. Keeping that high-end niche is key because it's not for everybody. Now everyone is starting to look at the different niches. Everybody's thinking about their health. There are more people with autoimmune disease or who want more gluten-free food and drinks. People don’t want sugar and they sure don’t want chemicals.

Tell us more about your branding and your motto?

My motto is "Made by a Woman for Women and strong enough for any Man" Black Momma Vodka and Brands. People always ask, 'Why the name?' Well, I’m Black, I’m the Momma, and I make the vodka It's as simple as that! As far as the logo, we were actually drinking vodka when we came up with that!! I look at it in terms of black being positive, especially in finances. Do you want your money in the red or do you want it in the black? Black of course. Black Momma is a positive momma for all of the women out there. These are women who have money to spend on something they want catered to them. That's why the logo is an upside down heart with the words upside down. You can turn it right-side up and we have a hidden message within the logo. People try so hard to figure it out, they end up purchasing the bottle. I love what I'm doing and that's the key. I receive great responses from my customers. I listen to my customers, they are the most important people in the world to this brand. We keep engagement with our customers, they always come back. We stay loyal to them, and they stay loyal to us. I'm passionate about what I'm doing, and these people who are my customers are passionate about it too. It stimulates the brand! if something doesn't fall within the guidelines of what I'm passionate about and it's not good for my customers, then it's not good for Black Momma Tea and Cafe.

What’s your timeline for the new stores?

In my head, I've already gone and shot the video for the first location! We've got traffic analysis for the two locations. Once we receive the targeted funding goals, we're going to begin construction immediately within the next 3-6 months. The reason why I picked these two locations because it's in the town where I already have a facility, so I'm familiar with the permits and construction process. I know construction! So building this will be second nature to me. We are transferring our existing website to Black Momma Tea and Cafe so people can follow the process and see what's going on. We are going to put a link on there for anybody that wants to taste any of the products, so they'll know what will be inside of Black Momma Teas and Cafe. In addition, we are sourcing local vendors and small unique brands to collaborate. There are some amazing U.S. small businesses making amazing healthy products. I want to feature them and give them a chance to grow and expand with us.

What made you want to try equity crowdfunding?

The appeal is based on having our customers becoming early stage investors on the ground floor of something that I intend to have around for a very long time. It allows investors to get involved who wouldn't have any other way. That's the beauty of equity crowdfunding. Why not allow our customers the opportunity to get involved with the American dream and grow & expand with us. They're already buying Black Momma products!

1	Two cafes in New York.
2	Existing Black Momma brand products currently have 33,000 customers and totaled $2.9 million in sales.
3	Our founder, Vanessa Braxton, is a retired structural engineer with experience managing an annual $350 million contracts and construction budget. With over 20 years of experience in engineering and construction, she became the first African American woman to build a Burger King in New York 22 years ago.
4	Registered as a Federal Government Contractor in order to facilitate licensed locations on military bases.

1	An investment in our shares involves a high degree of risk and many uncertainties. You should carefully consider the specific factors listed below, together with the other information included in this offering circular, before purchasing our shares in this offering. If one or more of the possibilities described as risks below actually occur, our operating results and financial condition would likely suffer and the trading price, if any, of our shares could fall, causing you to lose some or all of your investment. The following is a description of what we consider the key challenges and material risks to our business and an investment in our securities.
2	If our brand does not achieve more widespread consumer acceptance, our growth may be limited. Our brand is early in its growth cycle and has not yet achieved extensive brand recognition. Accordingly, if consumers do not accept our brand, we will not be able to penetrate our markets and our growth may be limited.
3	Buy Out Right: The Company may, at any time after the closing of the Offering, and in connection with a bona fide institutional financing, repurchase the Common Stock from the subscribers in the Offering, by delivering the undersigned written notice of such repurchase along with payment for the Common Stock. The payment for the Common Stock shall be based on the valuation of the Company in such institutional financing.
4	Labor shortages, an increase in labor costs, or an inability to attract employees could harm our business. Our employees and our ability to deliver an enjoyable cafe experience to our customers will be essential to our operations. If we are unable to attract and retain enough qualified restaurant personnel at a reasonable cost, and if they do not deliver an enjoyable customer experience, our results may be negatively affected. Additionally, competition for qualified employees could require us to pay higher wages, which could result in higher labor costs.
5	Disruptions in our supply chain or increases in ingredient, product and other supply costs could adversely affect our profitability and operating results. Our cafes will be dependent on frequent deliveries of ingredients and other products. We believe we shall have adequate sources of supplies for our ingredients and products to support our cafe operations, however, there are many factors which could cause shortages or interruptions in the supply of our ingredients and products, including weather, unanticipated demand, labor, production or distribution problems, quality issues and cost. Some of these factors are beyond our control, and could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
6	Delays in Opening our Cafes. The proceeds of this Offering will be used, in part, to build out and open one or more cafes. Our revenues will arise primarily from the operation of the cafes and franchise fees. We do not anticipate receiving any income until our first cafes are complete and our initial franchisees have executed franchise agreements. Therefore, anything that delays the opening of the cafes or the on boarding of franchisees, will adversely effect our profitability.
7	Our Success Is Highly Dependent On Our Current Management. Our success depends in significant part on the continued services of our current management team. Our success also depends in significant part on our ability to attract and retain additional management and other personnel. The inability to attract and retain such key personnel, or losing one or more of our existing management team, would seriously impair our ability to, or could cause us to fail to, successfully implement our business plan. This would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and the investors could lose their investment.
8	Risks of Borrowing. We may have to seek loans from financial institutions or other Individuals in the future. Typical loan agreements might contain restrictive covenants which may impair our operating flexibility, and may require us to provide a security interest in our assets.
9	Limited Transferability and Liquidity. Certain conditions imposed by the Securities Act must be satisfied prior to any sale, transfer, conversion or other disposition of our common stock. No public market exists for our common stock and no market is expected to develop.
10	Our failure or inability to protect our brand, trademarks or other proprietary rights could adversely affect our business and competitive position. We believe that our brand, intellectual property and our confidential and proprietary information will be very important to our business and our competitive position. The brand “Black Momma Tea & Cafe”, along with trade secrets, confidential and proprietary information and other intellectual property rights are key components of our operating and marketing strategies. Unauthorized usage or imitation by others could harm our image, brand or competitive position and, if we commence litigation to enforce our rights, cause us to incur significant legal fees. In addition, actions by other parties claiming that we are infringing on their intellectual property rights could also cause us to incur significant legal fees and divert management’s attention from the operation of our cafes.
11	Projections: Forward Looking Information. Any projections regarding our anticipated financial performance are hypothetical and are based on management’s best estimate of the probable results of our operations, and have not been reviewed by our independent accountants. Such projections are based on several assumptions which management believes are reasonable. Some assumptions invariably will not materialize due to unanticipated events and circumstances beyond management’s control. Therefore, actual results of operations will vary from the projections, and such variances may be material. The projected results cannot be guaranteed.
12	Dilution You should understand the potential for dilution. Each investor's stake in us, could be diluted due to our issuing additional shares. In other words, if we issue more shares, the percentage of the Company that you own will decrease, even though our value may increase. You will own a smaller piece of a larger company. This increase in the number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as an initial public offering, another crowdfunding round, a venture capital round or angel investment), employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (e.g., convertible notes, preferred shares or warrants) into stock. If we decide to issue more shares, you could experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount earned per share (although this typically occurs only if we offer dividends, and most early stage companies are unlikely to offer dividends, referring to invest any earnings into the Company). The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors mostly occurs when the company sells more shares in a "down round," meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier offerings. If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of the Company or expecting each share to hold a certain amount of value, it is important to realize how the value of those shares can decrease by actions taken by the Company. Dilution can make drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share
13	The cafe business is highly competitive. Although we believe we have a strong brand and will have strategic locations, there are many existing tea and coffee houses. We face competition from established companies such as Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf , as well as coffee houses such as Starbucks and Diedrich Coffee. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than us. As a result, these competitors may be able to devote greater resources to marketing and sales than us. There can be no assurance that we will compete successfully with such competitors.
14	The Investor hereby appoints the CEO of the Company (the “CEO”), or his or her successor, as the Investor’s true and lawful proxy and attorney, with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution, to, consistent with this instrument and on behalf of the Investor, (i) vote all Securities, (ii) give and receive notices and communications, (iii) execute any instrument or document that the CEO determines is necessary or appropriate in the exercise of its authority under this instrument, and (iv) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the CEO for the accomplishment of the foregoing, including, but not limited to, signing all documents, and taking any and all actions, determined by the Company’s officers and directors, in good faith, to be advisable to transfer any shares held by the Investor into a special purpose vehicle or other entity designed to aggregate the interests of holders of the Shares pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement.
15	Our future success depends on the efforts of a small management team. The loss of services of the members of the management team may have an adverse effect on the company. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining other personnel we require to successfully grow our business.
16	George Tootle is a part-time officer. As such, it is likely that the company will not make the same progress as it would if that were not the case.
17	Lack of Operating History and Risks of Operation.We are a new company (commencing operations in 2017). We have not yet commenced significant business operations. We are therefore, subject to all of the risks inherent in any new business enterprise. There can be no assurance that we or our franchisees will be successful in operating our cafes, and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
