The Caribbean High Tea in Harlem was a special gathering. Great food, local teas and great people. But two moments made the afternoon unforgettable:
🧡 The unveiling of the Heritage Quilt, inspired by Symbols of Courage by Sir Keithlyn Smith and coordinated by the Friends of the Antigua Public Library – New York β€” a stitched reflection of our history, resilience, and creativity.
🍡 The debut of ProsperiTEA β€” A Sip of Wisdom by Grandma Mirie, a herbal blend rooted in generations of family tradition.

It was an afternoon of island elegance, cultural pride, and empowerment as we celebrate 92 years of the ABPS serving as a beacon in the Harlem community.

There are some memories that linger long after the last guest goes home. High Tea in Harlem was one of those.
ABPS members, friends, neighbors, and guests gathered for an elegant afternoon celebrating Caribbean Heritage Month, Juneteenth, and the power of community. Beautiful hats, island-inspired refreshments, old friends reuniting, new friendships forming β€” the true spirit of the day showed up in every conversation around every table.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, and poured into this gathering. Culture isn't just preserved in books β€” it's kept alive one tea, one story, one shared table at a time. πŸ’›
We can't wait to see you at the next one.

β˜•πŸŒΏ Introducing ProsperiTEA by Grandma Mirie πŸŒΏβ˜•

At this year's High Tea in Harlem, we're excited to feature a special tea with a story to tell.

**ProsperiTEA – A Sip of Wisdom** is inspired by the legacy of Grandma Mirie and celebrates the traditions, knowledge, and care passed from one generation to the next. Rooted in love and brewed with grace, this herbal tea is a reminder that some of life's greatest treasures are shared through stories, family, and community.
