🍵 About

The Tea Stand is a Brooklyn-based nonprofit which serves free tea public parks, food distributions, and community events.

We create accessible spaces for neighborhood conversation, connection, and collaboration with the goal of building solidarity and community.

We've been serving our neighbors since 2022, when Miles first decided to set up a small table in his local park and offer free tea to passersby. Thus began a cycle which continues to this day: we serve free tea to strangers, strangers become friends, and friends become collaborators and supporters.

In this way, The Tea Stand has naturally evolved into a broader project featuring a free newsletter, a 🧧Membership program, and about 10 events each month.

The Tea Stand serves its mission through 4 different programming types:

⛩️ Popups: free tea served to strangers in public spaces

🥬 Distros: free tea served to folks waiting in line at food distributions.

🫖 Tea Talks: free tea and facilitated conversations in my apartment.

📀 Steeped in Sound: free tea and music on Sunday afternoons.

All of our programming is focused on creating accessible spaces for conversation and connection. We seek to build community toward liberation for all.
