T.E.A stands for Travel - Events – Activism. Classy Hippie Tea Co. is a Black-owned business that offers an unforgettable experience. T.E.A. members travel beyond tourist attractions in search of cultural events, human connections, and excellent tea. They also engage and leverage local communities. This company strives to make drinking tea more fun through community events. It provides social and interactive drinking experiences, engaging all five senses. T.E.A. started when African American business owner Leo Hickman returned from Kuwait in 2003. Hickman was a combat engineer in the U.S. Air Force, and he wanted a way to spread peace. “What I found is the only way I know how to break cultural barriers is sitting down over food, breaking bread,” says Hickman. Classy Hippie Tea Co. donates quarterly to global and local charities. These charities address the long-term needs of communities affected by natural disasters.
