Meet Annie Xiang of @volitionteaco š«
From sourcing single-origin teas directly from independent farmers to building community through storytelling, Annie Xiang is redefining what tea culture can look like in Chicago šµāØ
As a queer Chinese-American founder, Annie created Volition Tea with a mission rooted in transparency, sustainability, and connection ā bringing more intention, empathy, and authenticity into every cup. What started as a personal journey during pregnancy turned into a growing movement spotlighting the people and traditions behind tea.
This story is a beautiful reminder that food and drink can do more than nourish us ā they can connect cultures, preserve traditions, and build community. š
