The Qi Tea Shark Tank Update

The Qi Tea Shark Tank Pitch

Lisa Li appeared on Shark Tank Season 17, Episode 5, which aired on November 5, 2025, with Healing teas made from flowers.

The Qi Tea is listed in the Food Beverage category. In plain terms, the business is described as Healing teas made from flowers.

The Qi Tea asked the Sharks for $200,000 for 8% equity, implying a valuation of about $2.5 million.

On the show, The Qi Tea made a listed deal with Daymond John for $200,000 for 20% equity.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $1 million implied valuation, down from the original $2.5 million implied valuation.

This pitch is included as context for the more important question: what happened after Shark Tank.
