WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN?
CommuniTEA recognizes the growing anxiety among people, especially college students, trying to find balance among academic work, professional development, and social life. In the fast-paced society, we rarely take time for ourselves to slow down and find our inner peace. Therefore, mental health issues have become more prevalent on college campuses.
While meditation and yoga help ameliorate these issues, tea can provide us with a new perspective. At CommuniTEA, we emphasize on mental well-being and self-care. We strive to build a community of tea lovers and facilitate cross-cultural communications. In such activities, participants not only learn about tea, but also about others and themselves.
CommuniTEA believes in the power of tea in creating a better world. If you are interested in our work, we encourage you contact us and start a branch at your university.

A REFINED FRAMEWORK OF EVENTS

A STRONG COMMUNITY OF TEA MASTERS
Our tea masters act as mentors for branches of CommuniTEA, giving advice on event programming and tea education. They may also help expand the community within your branch and provide guidance on sourcing tea from different places.

CURATED TEA EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS
As a supportive community, we share our knowledge with each other in different ways. We have made and collected dozens of slides that can be used to teach an entire college course on tea. We are also in the process of developing theme-based tea tasting modules.
