According to Townshend's Tea, Charles Townshend (their name sake) is the reason tea is often an underdog to coffee, he penned the Tea Act which led to a widespread boycott on tea and ultimately the infamous Boston Tea Party, causing people to fill their mugs with a certain dark acidic brew and sowing the seeds of our current coffee culture. However, Polly Rhim co/owner of Townshend's Tea-Park City, is making a valiant effort to change all that. This week Polly and I sat down at the tea house over cups of delicious tea, and talked about how she brought Townshend's Tea to Utah.
How did you get in the tea business? Well I grew up in Oregon, Townshend's has several locations up there. They have the best Chai I have ever had. And

To say the locals of Park City came through on Friday's Live PC Give PC event, would be an understatement. The Live PC Give PC event, which is put on by the Park City Community Foundation was a HUGE success!!
Not only was one incredible party thrown at High West Friday evening, but hundreds of Park City locals came to celebrate and continued to donate. At the end of a very long day, the Live PC Give PC 2017 goal of reaching $1,999,999 was exceeded with an astounding $2,026,917 total!! 107 non-profits participated, over 30 sponsors and a total of 4,123 donors. Once again the Park City community came together and was an example of what amazing feats can be accomplished when we work together.
And there is still time to give, check out their website here for…
Thanksgiving is only weeks away, and most of us will be lucky enough to be spending the holiday's with our loved ones enjoying the delicious foods that come with the holiday's. But not everyone is as fortunate.
In the state of Utah, 1 in 7 children go to bed hungry every night. Last year the Park City Board of Realtors, with the help of the community, provided 2,300 turkeys to those in need – this year the goal is 2,500.
Park City's food pantry on Munchkin Road provides food to 60 Park City families per day. They provide items such as canned goods, dried foods, as well as bakery products, milk and produce. This year the food pantry has a list of 850 families in need of a Thanksgiving bird. Help the Park City Board of Realtors give hunger the bird, and
With the holiday season quickly approaching, we all hopefully begin to get into that generous giving spirit. And start thinking of ways to give back to the community we love. Live PC Give PC gives us that chance. It’s one extraordinary day to celebrate our collective spirit of giving, and to support the organizations that make Park City so incredibly special.
So many of us are fortunate enough to live and work in this beautiful place, and be part of a community that truly looks out for one another. However on the other side of our thriving resort/service community is those who need community support for housing, healthcare, day care, and that is just naming a few of the many, many non-profit organizations that will benefit from this one event.
