ABOUT MY CUP OF TEA

My Cup of Tea is a non-profit, social enterprise located in the heart of Orange Mound, considered the oldest African American community in America.

We import the highest quality tea from tea estates and gardens in the Far East to The House at Orange Mound, where it is weighed, re-formatted, and packaged for sale by women who impact the historic neighborhood.

Their lives are stabilized and dignified through training and purposeful work. Resources for personal and professional growth are included daily to enable them to provide for their families and serve their community.

Your purchase of Christmas or holiday gifts, Black Teas, Green Teas, White Teas, Herbal and Fruit Teas, Oolong Teas, Rooibos Teas, or other products online or at one of our local retailers opens a pathway for positive change, upward mobility, and pride for the courageous women who prepare our tea. You can also directly donate to My Cup of Tea. 

This is my home, a safe haven that gave me my life back. – Deborah
