Sip for Peace: A Tea Practice to Change the World

January 2018 and Beyond
The Sip for Peace team designed this project with some lofty goals. They are planning on uniting thousands of sippers on at least six continents to experience tea as more than just a beverage, to feel personal connections with growers, and to be inspired to try new teas. Beyond January, sippers can return to the project website at any time and can freely share the experience with friends. “Learning about the cultures of tea—the why of tea—reminds us of how much alike we are,” says Babette. “In most cultures, tea is served to welcome guests, to promote conversation, to celebrate special events, and to comfort people in need. I believe we share a universal desire for peace and a thirst for beauty.”

“Support from the international community of tea businesses and professionals is making this possible without cost to the subscribers. It can be free forever,” says Lou. “We have had donations from dozens of people who have chosen careers in tea.” Primary sponsors include both industry leaders and newcomers: The G.S. Haly Company, International Tea Importers, Australian Tea Masters, and The Tea House.
