I love milk in tea! It’s when folks think tea MUST have milk to be good that makes me sad. 🥰

They’re so funny to me. 😂 Almost every interaction we get in here is warm and charming, but sometimes someone will say something awkward-mean and I’m like 😨😬👍

I honestly believe 99% of the time they mean well and are just a tiny bit graceless in that moment. These are harmless and crack us up. 😂🫶🍵

A message below from my dear friend Tasneem in Gaza. The civilians are homeless and starving, with infrastructure and medical services in ruins. Don't turn away. They rely entirely on our donations to survive.

Please give to Tasneem so she can feed her children, and others. ❤️🙏

A message from Tasneem: "They have completely demolished our house and destroyed my husband's entire livelihood. My life depends solely on donations.

Their truth will be exposed to the entire world once the hostages are released. For two years, they lied, calling it "self-defense" and "rescuing hostages," while in reality they carried out a cold-blooded genocide against an unarmed people."

Tasneem's three children: Rafif, Hassan and Alma.

Another late night getting Kickstarter rewards packed up & shipped off! We may be making big glow-up moves, but our tiny team of 8 still does everything by hand! Yes to teabag robot, but also still yes to small hand-mixed batches, human QA, and hand-packing!⁠

Stacks of boxes of "Friday's Evening" teabag boxes with dragon wing lip detail. So elegant and pretty!

As @fridaytea.com knows, I like my tea strong. Though Cheshire Smile might not like being this strong.
