In November of 2000, I started Tealightful in my basement. At the time, I was pregnant with my daughter, and my son was 21 months old.
The inspiration!
After a trip to England at age 12, I realized that I dearly missed the tea breaks we enjoyed with our tea-loving relatives. It was a time to connect, refresh and be present. Tea had never tasted so good! It was a happy time that I looked forward to each day, and I wondered why there was no such time in America. Fast forward to my days as a young pregnant mom desperately looking for a way to stay at home with my 21-month-old son and soon-to-be newborn daughter!
The beginning!
Inspired by teatime memories and my passion for loose leaf tea, I began to hold tea tastings. The process would involve observing the tea, smelling the tea, making the tea, and finally, tasting the tea. The smiles and wonder at each tasting made it feel as if guests had tasted tea for the very first time. Ah ha, this was the feeling I was hoping to share! It wasn't very long until we had a very enthusiastic community of tea-loving fans!
