Each year, we try to come up with a little special somethin’ that honors & incorporates growth, community & of course Filipino culture 🙌🏼🇵🇭
This year, we decided to tie in our Kamayan Tea Parties & have teacups made! But not just any regular ones—each of these teacups were handmade by Darlene of Darlene del Carmen.
We chose the teacup shape to be a “palayok” to include our ancestors, added “Pamana” in baybayin & had the tattoo (of Filipino warrior tattoo symbols) specifically dedicated to Pamana etched on to each piece—swipe to see our wall that incorporates these symbols & a little run down memory lane 🥹
We only had 30 of these pieces made so be sure to grab yourself one ☺️ each purchase will receive Gulaman tea leaves to pair with your teacup ☕️ Exclusively available at the shop THIS Sunday, July 19 | 11:00-Sold Out 🤗

A little history on these palayok teacups:
🌱Palayok: the traditional clay pot used for Filipino cooking
🌱The relationship: Darlene has been connected to us since we first opened. Many ideas of how clay could be incorporated into the shop were shared, and not until now were we able to bring something to life together. Thank you for joining us for the ride, Darlene. We’ve appreciated your support through it all 🫶🏼🥹🇵🇭❤️
🌱The symbol: The tattoo is of waves/water, plants, & energy representing growth, healing, & flowing energy—a big part of my life journey. 3 of each to represent the shop which is shaped in a triangle & to represent Corinthians 3:6-9, the verse used during the shop’s first blessing—chosen by Pastor Ray who took care of my uncle when he passed.
