We came. We steeped. We graduated. 🎓🫖
We are officially graduates of The Hatchery Chicago’s Incubation Cohort, and what a ride it’s been.
We learned. We connected. We laughed. We were challenged. We sharpened the vision. And most importantly, we walked away better than we came.
Much love to The Hatchery Chicago, the instructors, mentors, partners and everyone who poured into us along the way. And a special salute to our fellow graduates. There’s something powerful about growing alongside other food and beverage entrepreneurs who believe in what they’re building just as much as we believe in what we’re brewing.
For 9TEA3, this wasn’t just about completing a cohort. It was another step in the journey of taking this Chicago born tea brand from the block to the boardroom…and wherever the cup takes us next.
We’re grateful for the experience.
Grateful for the people.
Grateful for the growth.
And we’re just getting started.
Peace, Prosperity & Pinky Up. ☕️✌🏾
It’s a Whole Leafstyle™.
