First Flush is here!

The first day of plucking was preceded by an "offering to the tea gods" where Glenburn Manager - Sanjay Sharma and his team performed various rituals to bless the Glenburn community, the tea fields, and to bring us a good crop this season.  A holy red thread (Mauli) was tied on a representative tea bush, and the first leaves offered along with a coconut, fresh flowers, and various grains that represent the coming of a new harvest.

Hard to believe it's been two years already! March 2011 we opened our doors in Williamsburg Virginia and were pleasantly surprised at the warm welcome from the community as well as visitors. It just goes to show how many negleted tea drinkers there really were out there! We are on a mission to remedy that. Year after year, month after month, we ask ourselves how can we do things better, how can we provide more, how can we make a bigger positive impact in people's lives. For us, it's all about the customer and creating a positive, unique experience with tea. The beauty of tea is vast, and it's such a joy to share our passion of tea with others! In our own small way, I like to believe we are making a difference and making the world a better place...spreading love one cup at a time.

We would be honored to have you come celebrate our anniversary with us on Saturday, March 16 at our Williamsburg Lounge. We will have a tea ceremony at 11am, live music at 2, tea tasting and treates all day, as well as give-aways and specials. Here we go! Two years and counting!!
