A simple, and great idea. The post-social media world can be a lonely place and it's nice to see this effort to connect divergent people in a genuine way AFK, and outside of a capitalist or mystical/religious/occult context.

An interesting idea, but why limiting it to select cities, rather than allowing whomever wants to host a tea session in their city?

Hey Tom. We have big plans to scale out, but we're still working on ensuring we have a plan for consistent quality of hosts and experiences before we open it up to all comers. If you want to get it up and running in your city sooner, drop me an email (in profile) or shoot Ankit, the founder, a message at ankit@teawithstrangers.com.

This is a terrific idea. Out of curiosity, are you a company, a non-profit, a group of people doing a project for fun, or what?

Agreed, I've been attending mystical/religious/occult events for a while now and I just end up meeting weirdos.

As an ex founder of similar ideas, good luck to you. This needs to happen. I'm just curious: doesn't tea give you a British angle?

Every time I find something like this and click on "Select Your City" dropdown it keeps reminding me all life happens somewhere else. Ah, so depressing.

Really great idea, I mean. Good luck with that.
