The tea’s free and it’s good. The note is why we started. Write down the thing you’ve been meaning to say to somebody, and we’ll hand it over with the drink.
Loaded teas were already big elsewhere and hadn't reached us yet. So we made a batch in 5W and handed them to whoever walked past. Enough people asked how to help that we filed the paperwork and became a CIO. There's an exec team now, and the menu changes most weeks.
Cavalier Crush and Rotunda Rush came out of a pop up with UVA Transfers. Code Blue and AED-licious are CavsCARE's, and they picked the names. The Virginia Gentlemen gave us Bow Tie and Encore. If your club wants to do one, just ask. We pretty much always say yes.
It's three questions: who it's for, what you want to say, and whether you want to sign it. People have sent them to roommates and to a professor who let them turn something in late. One went to the guy who found a lost ID and walked it over at seven in the morning.
The hard part is picking just one person.
Drinks have gone to facilities staff, to a dorm at midnight, and once to the president's office. We hand over the cup and the note and get out of the way. Most people read it standing right there.
No dues, no tickets, nothing to sign. Grab a drink whenever you see us, and send one along when you're ready.
Students, faculty, staff, the folks who unlock the buildings at 6am. If you work or study here, come get one.
75mg if you ask, so about a cup of coffee. Everything comes without it by default, and the labels are right there at the table.
Check the dates below and just show up. You don't have to tell us you're coming or know anybody there. Faculty and staff, that means you too.
Anything on the board is yours. Want it caffeinated? Say the word and we'll add 75mg. Everything's labelled at the table if you'd rather check first.
Scan the QR code, tell us who it's for, and write whatever you want to say. Sign it or stay anonymous, your call. We'll get the drink and the note to them.
We set up in Lawn Room 5W and out on the South Lawn a few times a month. Just show up, no need to say anything ahead of time. Stay two minutes or stick around the whole time.
You’ve probably already got somebody in mind. Go send them one.
