EMOTE is a community based endeavor. Relationships bring purpose to our lives. EMOTE succinctly encapsulates the experiences and memories of friendships and partnerships made around the world. From Peru to Greece, Australia to the USA, the textiles shared by EMOTE tell a story of experiences and cultures experienced by many. This notion of communal joy and connection is at the centre of EMOTE, and the soulful offering of EMOTea is at its heart. Every order comes with a sachet of certified organic tea, blended with love and integrity in New York City. It is how founder Ryan Lobo would love us all to begin and end everyday.
