CommuniTEA Party

History of the CommuniTEA & CommuniTEA Party

Born out of the tradition of serving tea on my block to spend time with my neighbors, CommuniTEAs became a great way to check in with neighbors, get updates and get to know each other. CommuniTEAs offer an open, agenda-less space to connect and share resources, concerns, needs and more. CommuniTEAs are just as healing for the host as the people they gather. Hosting a CommuniTEA is simple and our team provides resources to support you.

The first CommuniTEA Party was hosted at a community center in Mahler Place Washington, DC. There were 8 women in attendance. Some women came with their daughters. We had a meditative sip of the tea, spoke about the herbs we were using as well as the herbs in the tea, made loose leaf tea together and each woman was given a CommuniTEA box that came with a mug, a tea strainer and 2 different types of teas sponsored by MĀK Apothecary.

Now we are looking for community members to host CommuniTEAs and CommuniTEA Parties in their neighborhood. If you are interested in learning more, please fill out the interest form below.
