The Tea Society and Tea Box are the collaborated efforts of Tamara Ross and Belinda Walker. In March 2007, Tamara and Belinda gathered together a core group of women which included Lori Hughes, Valerie Caldwell, and Vilayvan Phaouthoum, at a Maad Tea Party in El Dorado Hills, CA. The vision was shared of women not only gathering together for Tea, fellowship, and fun, but doing something special for others. The women loved the idea and Tea Sisters Society became a reality.
