I live in Long Island, and YAAAS TEA is like 10 minutes away from my house, and I go there instead of Starbucks. Palestine has been colonized by Israel for 76 years, and the colonization is still going on, even after it resumed in October 7, 2023. Companies such as Starbucks support Israel, and people boycott said companies because of the zionist propaganda. Starbucks is failing because of this. Instead, people are either making their own coffee, going to small coffee shops, or most importantly, going to boba shops, even if the latter business have coffee in them.

As a Long Islander, the boba shop that I have gone to the most is defined YAAAS TEA because it’s not that far from my house, plus it has coffee, which I never tried from them. Maybe after Eid, I will try their coffee. Anyway, out of all the boba shops near me, this one is the best because it’s got some of the unique flavors of milk tea, and they have cold foam, something that Starbucks has.

Compared to Starbucks, YAAAS TEA’s menu is less, so they must join the competition by adding more to their menu. If you have been there, you know how they sell thin and crispy cookies? Well, they can make a thick and chewy version of these. Aside from cakes, which is already in the menu, they should sell brownies, cupcakes, cake pops, mochi, muffins, and macarons if you want something sweet. They should also sell savory items such as fish croquettes, potato pancakes, and panini sandwiches.

Yes, YAAAS TEA sells coffee, but I feel like each coffee has a type, and each type can be different from each other. If they really want to up their coffee game, they should consider selling the mocha family (which includes white chocolate mocha) and iced espressos and cappuccinos. If they really want to compete with Starbucks, then they should make strawberry milk tea to rip off the Pink Drink. 

I haven’t seen well known boba shops aside from Gong Cha being intentionally pro-palestine, so why can’t YAAAS TEA do the same thing but go further? I can imagine its founder, Kelly Zhou, donating to the displaced and innocent people of Palestine, especially the children of Gaza. She should donate hundred thousand dollars or a million dollars because the genocide is so bad to the point that the Palestinians are broke. The company should also make a statement, standing with these people from this stolen land. After that, they will go viral for their pro-palestinian statement, thinking, that they know better than Starbucks. 

There should be a photo or video advertisement saying that consumers should give up Starbucks and switch to YAAAS TEA, which will make Long Island locals run to its nearest location to them. While the campaign will go on, they should consider opening locations across New York and all of the United States, and then go international with locations in Europe, East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East.

To Summarize, YAAAS TEA should take over the world because of their pro-palestine actions that they consider doing, and they will be the pro-palestinians’ answer to Starbucks by expanding their menu and persuading consumers to get boba and fresh coffee from them. I feel bad for whoever is not from Long Island because they are missing out.
