Member Spotlight: Fabula Tea
How was Fabula Tea founded?Fabula Tea was founded in 2014 to bring wellness, beauty and inspiration to people through fine tea experiences. As tea is steeped in art, history and culture, it is a wonderful vehicle through which people can come together and gain a new level of awareness. In particular, small batch loose-leaf teas and tea ceremonies allow people to engage their senses, sip quietly and practice mindfulness, providing them a respite from the hustle and bustle of modern lifestyle. Both the co-founders, Yshel and Kenny, have experienced the profound beneficial effects of tea since they were young. The deeper they explore, the more they realize how powerful a tea experience can be, especially when people can truly feel and connect with themselves again, away from the space where their senses are influenced by their respective culture and physical environment. Ultimately, they decided to follow their heart and create their own unique paths to introduce the world to their tea experiences.What kind of companies do you work best with?We work best with companies that are interested in wellness enhancement, creative ways of doing things and building stronger teams. Our tea experience will allow individuals and team members to refresh their senses, regain their clarity and develop a deeper level of connection with each other.
