In Great Britain they drink tea as a break from the work day. In the Middle East tea is served as a welcoming gesture to guests. In Japan the Tea Ceremony is highly ritualized cultural production. One drink has an enormous place in the lives of millions of people. To look at our world through tea is to see our differences as well as the similarities that bind us.

Background to Tea Bike:
Tea Bike is about shared stories, part tea tasting wagon and part art wagon. Tea Bike aims to bring together universal recipes for healthy living. No right recipes, just how to go about solving problems in day to day living.
every given situation or puzzle in life can have more than one solution
sharing stories has the power to transform that story
everything begins as an idea, and taking time to enjoy this moment can give us clues as to how to bring ideas to fruition
I have distant memories on sharing tea, both in my childhood's dream imagination and in my interaction with those around me. In Iran light tea concoctions are even given to young babies to soothe colic.
Tea Bike is an outlet for me to serve tea, to give people a mobile experience of simple flavours that are nurtured through land, sun and careful tending. On a deeper level it is an outlet for nonverbal communication; a desire to share my observations through a very simple, ancient and universal thing: tea.
As a musician, mum and tea lover, I find that what I learn from my experience with tea goes beyond the tea itself. It somehow binds me to my purpose and a true nature that is beyond me, yet so much a part of who I am becoming. For me pouring tea is about many things, compassion and non-doing in everyday activity are central. Never an end to my curiosity about leaves and water, and never a true answer about what makes a perfect cup, just a simple and endless pursuit.
I hope I can inspire you with my joy in the simplicity of this universal beverage!
