I discovered a new website. Catherine's Comfortable Tea is run by the Catherine McAuley Center, founded by the Sisters of Mercy and "promotes the well-being and dignity of individuals in need by providing basic education for adults and a transitional housing program for women."
Selling tea and tea related items was a natural for this religious community. Venerable Catherine McAuley founded the Religious Institute of the Sisters of Mercy and opened her first home for girls on the feast of Our Lady of Mercy in 1827. On her deathbed, she told her sisters to "be sure to have a comfortable cup of tea for them when I am gone."
Proceeds from their tea, treats and tea accessories help fund the Center in Cedar Rapids, IA.
Stop by their website, pick up some tea, and do a good deed!
That's nice that you can get your tea and help out a good cause at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThis tea company is perfect. My eldest is heading off to college in 2 mos and a day and she loves tea. We bought a tea spoon for loose tea at our parish yard sale and I'm excited to find a source for loose tea
ReplyDeleteThat's neat, Renee. Good luck to your daughter!
