POCHI BOBA, BAISUN Candles, & THE Clubhouse App
Back in 2020, the world shut down. The pandemic hit and all our lives were forever changed.
While we all know how difficult the peak of the pandemic was for everyone, there was some good that came out of it.
Stronger team – it showed my team that we CAN get through adversity & tough times together. It helped us show more support, grace, & understanding for our customers AND for each other too.
Online orders – we always thought about having an online ordering system, but the pandemic forced us to get it done sooner rather than later. It is something we are and will continue to use & develop.
Connection – while the pandemic was very isolating at times, it also forced people to connect differently and find new ways to connect or reconnect with people.
For my husband and I, we joined Clubhouse, a voice-only app that blew up during the peak of the pandemic. We joined and founded Boba Club.
It was like a virtual cafe. You come in, place your boba order, then stay and chat with everyone. And no, we didn't deliver boba to you although that would have been cool! It was a safe place for all to connect. Our team of moderators was from all over the world with different backgrounds and it was just all around so much wholesome fun.
(Our moderators created a boba generator that is still LIVE today! Check it out: http://bobaclub.com/order/)
Honestly, we were just trying to fill our need for social connection like everyone else. We wanted to talk to other people who liked what we liked, which obviously was BOBA.
What we didn’t expect was to meet and connect with SO many people in the boba community from all over the world. From Nepal, Germany, Taiwan, and Australia to the boba connoisseurs all over California. We have since been able to meet many in person. Now we get to call many of them our good friends and are even working with some on a professional level.
The founder & owner of Baisun Candle Co., Brandon, is one of them!
When he reached out about curating a small selection of their hand-poured soy candles, we were so excited. These candles are inspired by nostalgic Asian flavors & smell SOOOOO good! What's even more awesome was that he founded the company in 2020 during the pandemic!

This partnership was a no-brainer as we are incredibly grateful for the strong boba community that we get to be a part of and the opportunity to support small businesses like this one.
Now let's INTRODUCE the candles we’ve curated for Pochi, shall we?
Let me start off with the fact that these are only available at our Kirkland Location. We are outgrowing our space at Lynnwood and do not have the room to display or hold merchandise. Hopefully, in the years to come, we will be able to renovate and change that!
However, until then, find these at Kirkland. You can also order these for pick-up when you place your boba order as well!
HONEYDEW
Think classic HONEYDEW MELONA bars. The smell of nostalgia and childhood memories. And if that wasn’t your childhood, then it’s not too late to make some new memories!
WHITE PEACH
White Peach has a more crisp, floral scent in comparison to yellow peach. Its light & airiness is the perfect touch to a freshly cleaned home. And boy do we love a nice, clean scent.
BROWN SUGAR BOBA
One whiff of this and you'll agree with us that it screams BOBA. Iconic🤩 and what a treat it is! This cozy candle warms up any space and captures the warmth and essence of boba so perfectly.
I am personally so excited to introduce these candles to you. Not only will you be supporting 2 small businesses, but you’ll be comforted and enwrapped in the joy that these candles will bring.
Please drop a line & let me know your thoughts!! Looking forward to hearing from ya!
