A Moment of Tea came into existence during the uncertain times of the 2020 pandemic. When the world was grappling with isolation and uncertainty, we felt the urge to create a space of warmth and community, and the idea of using tea as a medium seemed perfect.
So, we began with weekly tea gatherings, inviting people from various walks of life to come together, share their stories, and find solace in the warmth of a cup of tea. The response we received was heartening. It was clear that our little tea gatherings were offering people comfort and a sense of community, and this inspired us to turn this initiative into something more substantial.
