We have an important question for you…

Saturday at Los Angeles’ Echo Park Lake: Sun shining. Kids playing. It’s a historically diverse neighborhood, now home to trendy boutiques and restaurants.

Whatever folks were expecting on their way to the vintage market or the vegan brunch place, it probably wasn’t an open-ended question about all the things—little and big—that make their lives feel full and rich.

Why did we want to know? Maybe it’s a tea-drinker thing; there’s something about pausing to sit with a steaming, fragrant mug that prompts us to consider the big questions— like what truly fulfills people.

So, our new video series is simply us, heading out into the world—with tea of course— to ask: “What fills your cup?” First stop, Echo Park Lake, Los Angeles.

We heard about nature and helping people, about that smell in the air when the seasons are starting to change. One guy just felt lucky to be married to the same person for 42 years. A teen loved cars. Just cars. Driving them. How powerful they made him feel.

It’s interesting how the things that light us up might be very different but the feelings they bring—the joy, the energy—connects to every other human being.

Turns out “What fills your cup?” is maybe the most important question of all.

We’ll be serving tea and important questions all over the globe and we would love to meet you—let’s stay connected.

Now get yourself a steaming cup of tea and watch the video.

Part 2: Reema

Now you've gained lots of wonderful insights through 'What fulfills you?', we would like to introduce you to Reema - one of several amazing people whom we asked the same question.

A few years ago, Reema received a life-altering diagnosis that has accompanied her ever since. This period reshaped her approach to life and provided her with the answer to our question.

Find out more about Reema's story and watch the second part of our series now. 

Part 3: Brian

We'd like to share another very touching story in the third part of our series. Introducing Brian, whom we asked, 'What fulfills you?'

Brian talked us through his experience of overcoming a difficult childhood and his life as a child of immigrant parents. We were inspired by Brian's story, and we think you will be too.
