More alliteration. For example, "Lemon Sencha" is dull, but "Smashing
Citrus Sencha" jumps right off the menu and practically slits your
throat with an attack of sour S's. And there's no better way to
increase beverage sales than to slit your customers' throats,
figuratively speaking. "Wu Yi Oolong"? Sounds foreign, and foreign is
intimidating. Customers don't want to buy things that scare them. How
about "OooWee Wu Yi Oolong"? Now that's exotic AND fun, like you're
going to be served a cheap Vietnamese prostitute in a cup. Your "Red
Raspberry Roobios" can even be "kicked up a notch" by calling it...are
you ready...BAM!: "Rockin' Red Raspberry Roobios"! Awesome! Make mine
a double! This tea house ****in' rocks!
