Why Millvale?
I have always envisioned my tea shop ending up in my hometown of Millvale, just outside of Pittsburgh, PA. Growing up here, I had visions of Millvale being restored to the days when it was a bustling town full of mom and pop shops. The kind of place my grandparents and parents experienced when living here. I’ve traveled all over the world and I have never felt more at home than I do in Pittsburgh but specifically Millvale. I wanted to contribute to this town and be part of the revitalization happening within it. To stand beside long standing staples like Yetters, Lincoln, the Attic, Mr. Smalls, Jean Marc, but also be part of the new niche businesses moving in, and redefining the town. Millvale is a town full of resilient people who are full of grit. People who speak their mind and work hard for what they have just like me. I am a product of many generations in this town.
