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?
Coming soon: Coffee with strangers.

#12Every 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.
It sounds like you might want to host:

I'm not sure if I would be good enough host. And even if someday I'm brave enough to assume I am, I'm afraid I would be hosting meetup with myself in Riga, Latvia.

Nah, there are lots of people in the Baltics who would be happy to have a cup of tea and talk about life - I was just thinking about hosting in Klaipeda
Re: Tea with strangers
#16A 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.
Agreed, I've been attending mystical/religious/occult events for a while now and I just end up meeting weirdos.
More than a third of people in my country (US) do attend those events, and they are teh de-facto social outlets in many communities. Great to have alternatives.

And if that happened, so what?

#18I went to tea with a group in NY maybe a year ago, had a fantastic time. Great work Ankit and co!
Re: Tea with strangers
#19I haven't personally been to one of their events but met the founder (Ankit) by chance a few months back through a mutual friend who has been to a few. Definitely seems like a genuine guy who's passionate about the idea and being rightfully cautious about expanding at a pace that ensures all their events are of high enough quality with good hosts to guide good conversation.
If they're in your area definitely be sure to try an attend an event, I know I will be assuming I ever beat the waitlist in San Francisco.
