GOSU

GOSU is a new bubble tea shop that has taken its love for EDM to new heights. The tea shop is located in San Fransico and has been getting a lot off buzz right out of the gate. There is a beautiful aesthetic to the shop with a sleek interior and T.V.s everywhere playing EDM music videos on repeat. It's a place where you can get a "treat with a beat" as I like to think of it. The tea shop opened back in December of 2016 and has been doing so well ever since their launch. Bubble tea for those that don't know is a type of fruity tea with tapioca balls inside that squish when you bite them. The teas have a mild taste and are super refreshing on a hot California day.  The Owner Tran said that being Asian, "it was hard to tell my parents that I don't want to go to school anymore, but after seeing how successful he had become they believed he'd made the right move.

Some of the best parts of the tea shop that I read about include the names of the teas and the wall of PLUR. Tran has named some of the teas after popular EDM songs that make the give the customers a great experience and offer them a more interactive sexperience. Another great thing that Tran does is incorporate the PLUR wall which he allows people to hang "candy" or rave bracelets. I have made a post about PLUR and its meaning but as a reminder, the acronym stands for Peace, Unity, Love, and Respect. I believe Tran receives all of those things from his customers on a daily basis. What is cool is that Trans keeps his tea shop modest during the day, but at night amps is up into a bubble tea night club. I was fascinated to see how Tran was able to take two things he loved so much and make them into a business. It is truly inspirational and I would love to visit this place one day.
