What does your family look like?

When I started at orientation for Runa in New York all the interns and some of the Brooklyn team did an early morning guayusa tea ceremony.  It was beautiful.  We sat around in the bright sunlight of 6 am in New York city and sat in silence.  Tyler (co-founder) said our theme was family, so if a story compelled someone to speak about their family please do so.  Everyone shared beautiful stories about their family, about their tea and family and it showed a little bit of the journeys of how we all got to be part of the Runa family.

I spoke about how wherever I was, whatever was going on if I called my mom she would always calm me down or comfort me by saying, "It's okay just make yourself a cup of tea and start that paper" or "Don't worry about it go sit with your girlfriends and make yourself a cup of tea."

Tea can bring families together and create new ones.

Check out how Runa tea has brought this Boston family together. We're from all over the world: Boston, north of Boston, west of Boston, Vietnam, South Africa, New York City, Chicago with roots and interests all over the world with many different journeys in life.  But Runa made us a Boston family:
