🚨Sappy Post Alert🚨
Kat and Marianne here, we’ve been reflecting on the past 5 years and how grateful we are for this journey.
From Kat:
When I moved back to Vancouver in 2021 to open Dandelion with my mom, I had been away for 10 years. My hope was that we could create a space where everyone was welcome, where folks could build connections, where anyone would feel at home, and selfishly, where I could find my people. Not only have these dreams come true, but this community that we have all built over the last 5 years is more incredible than we ever dreamed. You all fill my heart every day, and you are the reason I love showing up to the teahouse every day. Thank you so much for believing in us and supporting us, we love you!!!!
From Marianne:
I can’t believe it has been 5 years since we opened. I am always amazed by the support from the community! When Kat and I started the Tea House it was just a little more than a dream and now the dream has come full circle. We have a community, I am blessed that you all have joined us on our journey. Part of our initial vision was to, “expand our vision and grow as a company, creating a place for our community to gather, learn, and laugh together through special events, wellness workshops, skincare classes, and of course - cups of tea!” I think we hit the mark and in the process realized that we needed to expand the community work as there was such a great need. Becoming a non profit was, of course, the next step. Thanks for being with us, as we could not have done it without you! With love, Cheers to all!
Thank you for everything 🥰
