In Paris, a new kind of tea party is brewing. One that’s less about trends and more about connection. What began as a simple invitation to share tea has grown into a quiet movement. Founded by Maxime ( @sciencesthe ), a cancer researcher and tea writer, and Anh Truong ( @croco_tea ), a pharmacist with Sino-Vietnamese roots, the gatherings celebrate presence, conversation, and the joy of sharing a cup.
Pull up a cup and join the Parisian tea party with Anne-Frédérique Dedeyan Dayraut ( @sanskriti.collection ) on Tea Journey at the link in our bio.
