We recently connected with Ebony Berry & Stacey Taylor and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Ebony | Stacey, thank you for being such a positive, uplifting person. We’ve noticed that so many of the successful folks we’ve had the good fortune of connecting with have high levels of optimism and so we’d love to hear about your optimism and where you think it comes from.
Our optimism is deeply rooted in how we choose to live each day. One quote that really resonates with us is, “Get busy living or get busy dying.” That mindset shapes how we show up—not just in business, but in life. At Come Tea Us, one of our core values is fostering a culture of joy, fun, and passion. We believe that meaningful moments are built on warmth and genuine connection.
Optimism and positive energy are magnetic, and we’ve made that energy the heartbeat of everything we do. For us, optimism is more than a mindset—it’s our superpower. It helps us see challenges as opportunities, fuels creativity, and inspires those around us to dream bigger. It’s how we build experiences that leave people feeling uplifted, connected, and truly seen.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
Spreading the Word About Come Tea Us
At Come Tea Us, we’re passionate about growing our tea-themed event planning company and expanding our reach. We are currently based in Dallas, TX. You’ll find us at universities, corporate offices, small markets, and even runway fashion shows—each appearance designed to build brand awareness and create unforgettable tea experiences.
What makes Come Tea Us so exciting—and truly special—is that we are introducing a new concept to the market. We bring neo-tea vibes, blending the timeless elegance of tea with vibrant entertainment. It’s a reimagining of tea culture where tradition meets trend, and refinement meets fun. We want to revolutionize how people experience tea—transforming it into something fresh, inclusive, and full of joy.
Our clients can choose from 24 distinct tea-themed events, and what sets us apart is our ability to fully customize each experience. Whether you’re celebrating a personal milestone or hosting a large-scale corporate function, we tailor every detail to reflect the personality and goals of our clients.
Our business focuses on three core areas:
Private Tea Events
From birthdays and brunches to anniversaries, sorority mixers, bridal and baby showers, and children’s parties (starting at age 5+), we craft intimate, joyful gatherings centered around tea and connection.
Corporate Experiences
We partner with companies to bring tea into the workplace—offering team retreats, wellness workshops, tea-infused breakfasts and lunches, client mixers, happy hours, conferences, and tradeshows. These events promote wellness, creativity, and meaningful engagement.
Community Events
We host inclusive, public tea-themed events that celebrate community and culture. We collaborate with local venues and small businesses—from DJs and musicians to florists, photographers, and apparel brands—to create a truly immersive and local experience.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to launch national tea pop-up experiences across the country that will introduce new audiences to our signature blend of elegance and entertainment.
At Come Tea Us, we’re not just event planners—we’re creators of memorable moments, connectors of people, and ambassadors of a bold new tea movement. Our optimism, creativity, and commitment to excellence keep us steeping forward.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Reflecting on the Journey: Three Most Impactful Qualities
Recognizing the Value of Transferable Skills
Ebony Berry, Founder of Come Tea Us, values the 17 years she spent in the corporate world, particularly in corporate wellness under the HR umbrella. Those years taught her how to serve people, create meaningful experiences, and solve problems—skills that later became the foundation of her entrepreneurial journey. It was eye-opening to realize that what she had learned in a structured environment could be redirected into building something of her own—especially alongside a business partner who matched her energy and vision.
Confidence to Choose Yourself
Stepping out on her own required courage. Ebony calls it Faith over Fear. She believes you must have unwavering belief in your vision—even before anyone else sees it. Choosing yourself means trusting that you are enough, that your voice matters, and that your dreams are worth the risk.
Passion with Purpose
Ebony has always loved hosting, planning trips, and curating experiences. For her, passion is something you’d do for free and still feel joy. That’s exactly how she feels about planning tea parties. Stacey Taylor, Come Tea Us’s Marketing and Creative Director, brings that same passion—transforming clients’ event visions into stunning, unforgettable realities. She is the creative force and curator behind the magic.
When Ebony and Stacey realized how powerful human connection can be—and how tea offers both emotional comfort and medicinal benefits—Come Tea Us was born.
Advice for Those Just Starting Out:
Invest in yourself—your ideas, your learning, and your growth.
Have a plan and do your homework.
Stay laser-focused—eat, sleep, and breathe your dream.
Be willing to pivot when needed and remain flexible.
And most importantly, wake up each day with the intention to pursue something you love.
Because when passion meets preparation and purpose, there’s no limit to what you can build.
