What's the Tea? A June Recap, a Little History, and a Lot of Love!
Surely, the phrase “What’s the tea?” has been floating around in your ether, just as it has in mine!

The phrase has become a playful and popular way to ask ‘what’s the gossip’... the ‘tea’ being the juicy details. But there’s more to it than just a catchy phrase and some buzz. It has roots that run a bit deeper than pop culture as the saying itself originated in culture and community.
