Giuseppe Spadafora drives around the USA hosting free tea parties on his bus- something he started doing to alleviate his loneliness while living in LA.
“The Tea Bus started because I was lonely. I was in LA and I didn’t have connections and a community, the things I had grown up with,” explains Giuseppe– now known as ‘The Tea Man’
“I didn’t have very much money. And tea was a really easy and cheap way to get people together.”
Giuseppe has served more than 30,000 cups for tea- all for free.
As well as giving people a lovely experience and a chance to meet others- some people have even fallen in love on the bus- The Tea Bus is helping Giuseppe.
“It has cured my loneliness,” he says.
