TeaTalk

TeaTalk is a mobile tea-serving cart that offers space for conversation and social connection over the sharing of a free cup of tea.

We launched TeaTalk on November 26, 2016 in Northeast False Creek as part of CityStudio’s Imagination Zone. We partnered with local artist George Rahi, using his mobile tea-serving trailer to create an inviting gathering space. On a cold, rainy Saturday afternoon, we engaged in rich conversation with 70 unique individuals. The TeaTalk model demonstrates the simple success of using tea to physically bring people together in an inclusive space, facilitate the creation of connections between local area residents, and inspire future social engagement projects in the Imagination Zone.
