Testimonials

“Spring 2025 was my first time attending a Tea Lover’s Café Tea party—and it definitely won’t be my last! From the moment we walked in, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully curated—from the beautiful venue and delicious tea selections to the intentional menu and meaningful conversation. I brought a couple of girlfriends with me, and we couldn’t stop talking about how impressed we were with the professionalism, the vibe, the giveaways, and the overall experience. This event exceeded all our expectations—it’s truly a must-attend!”

“Attending Tea Lover’s Café April was an unforgettable experience. I didn’t realize how much I needed to hear the message about the power and importance of sisterhood until I was in that room. It was a beautiful and timely reminder that we’re not meant to walk this journey alone. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and deeply moving. Tawawn’s and the TLC team kindness and the intentional spirit of the event truly touched me. I’m so grateful for the space she created-a space for women to relax, reflect, sip on some good tea, and be poured into. Thank you, Tea Lover’s Café, for the insightful tea talk and for reminding us all just how powerful sisterhood really is”.

“It’s TeaTime in the DMV was the very first tea party I’ve ever attended—and let me tell you, they were right: this is not your average tea party. From the moment I stepped through the door, I knew I was in for something special. The entire experience was beautifully orchestrated, from steeping my own tea for the first time (which was such a fun and calming ritual!) to the delicious food, nothing like the typical tiny sandwiches I expected. Every bite was flavorful, elegant, and clearly prepared with love.”
But what truly made the event unforgettable was the atmosphere of connection. Watching women come together, share stories, laugh, and simply be in a space that felt so welcoming and affirming—it was powerful. Tea Lover’s Cafe has created something truly magical. I didn’t just attend an event; I experienced a moment that stayed with me long after my teacups was empty.”

“As a vendor at the event, I love how Tea Lover’s Cafe weaves small, women-owned businesses into their tea party experience. It’s more than just delicious teas and tasty treats, but an opportunity for their guests to discover and support other women doing amazing things. A beautiful blend of connection, empowerment, purpose, and a good cup of tea.”

Tonja Cosey

“Attending the tea was truly a self-care moment just for me-uninterrupted, nourishing, and uplifting. I made meaningful connections and built new relationships in a space that felt warm and inviting. I shopped for myself, sipped new teas, and one of my favorite teas, enjoyed delicious food, and most of all, I was deeply moved by the engaging conversation about sisterhood, what it truly means and how to show up as a good sister-friend. It was everything I didn’t know I needed.”

Nikki Ashe

“This is truly an event for women of all ages. At my tender young age of 70, I felt right at home! Whether you’re a lifelong tea drinker or just coming for the experience, you’ll leave filled—with good tea, delicious food, and even better conversation. It was a joy to connect with women of all generations in such a beautifully curated and heart-centered space. And I got these cool sunshades from one of the wonderful vendors. I highly recommend it to every woman looking for something special.”

“Tea Lover’s Cafe is doing something different with tea parties that truly make it’s a full experience. From the thoughtful details to the meaningful conversations, everything feels intentional and impactful. This is my third tea party with them. What stood out most to me is that the owner is present at each tea, personally connecting with guests and truly engaging with the community. That kind of heart and presence makes all the difference. Tea Lover’s Café is truly creating moments that matter.”

Kim Reed-Butler

“As a nurse and wellness coach, three words immediately come to mind when I think about my experiences at Tea Lover’s Cafe events: empowering, uplifting, and wellness. Each gathering offers more than just tea—it creates a space where women feel seen, inspired, and encouraged to prioritize their well-being. It’s a beautiful blend of connection, self-care, and intention—and I always leave feeling refreshed and renewed.”

Delayna Keller-Watkins

“I’ve always loved tea and a good tea party, so when I came across this event on Facebook, I grabbed a VIP ticket—and I’m so glad I did! It was everything promised and so much more. The attention to detail was incredible, especially the thoughtful touches for VIPs. I loved seeing women gathered in such a positive, joyful atmosphere—laughing, dressed to impress, and simply enjoying themselves. From the delicious tea blends and flavorful food to the meaningful conversations, fun games, and generous giveaways, this event was absolutely worth the investment. I’ll be back!”

Teena Wilson

“I’ve been a VIP ticket holder for the last few Tea Lover’s Cafe tea parties and let me tell you—it’s worth every penny. I always attend with my bestie, and the Spring Tea was extra special. When I purchased our tickets, I casually mentioned it would be her birthday. To my surprise, the TLC team remembered! She was stunned when they called her up during the event and surprised her with balloons and a thoughtful gift. That moment captured what Tea Lover’s Cafe is all about—sisterhood, connection, and wellness. We’ve already secured our seats for the Fall Tea because it’s the little things like this that make it so much more than just a tea party.”

“As part of the TLC team, I’ve witnessed firsthand Tawawn’s passion and commitment to empowering women—and it’s truly inspiring. When she first shared her vision of putting a modern twist on Tea Lover’s Cafe tea parties in the DMV, I’ll admit I was a bit hesitant. But watching that vision come to life has been nothing short of amazing. Seeing women smile, laugh, sometimes cry, open up, and connect in such a meaningful way is a win for everyone involved. Tawawn has a gift for creating unforgettable experiences, and I’m proud to be part of a team that not only brings it all together—but also gets to soak it in (and sip some amazing tea, too!).”

Kim Johnson

“Tea Lover’s Cafe, thank you for bringing my book “The Power of Shut Up” to Tea Time in the DMV—it was such a powerful and needed conversation. It was a pleasure to co-facilitate the conversation with Tawawn. I truly enjoyed the dialogue, the thoughtful questions from the women, and the energy in the room. And let’s talk about that food—absolutely amazing! I’m also going to need that Lotta Colado tea by the gallon—it was that good. The blend of meaningful conversation and delicious tea is a perfect pairing. I’m excited to see your continued success and can’t wait for the next event!”
