The business curates “afternoon tea” events and provides etiquette, home economics and life-skill classes to young people in need.

Last Sunday at the Flourish Studio on the East Side, attendees drank rose white tea, apple spice black tea, a farmer’s market blend and more from vintage china. They ate cucumber sandwiches and pumpkin spice scones from tiered serving trays. Their tables were supplied with fine cutlery, crystal honey jars and colorful, homemade sugar cubes.

“I think I developed my love for tea watching ‘My Fair Lady,’"laughed Williams, 38, of Pickerington, who opened her business last year. “That was my introduction to passion for tea and etiquette together.” “She was an amazing mother, but when she had an episode, she wasn't able to be present,” Williams said.

After spending time in foster care, Williams’ circumstances improved when she sought help from the Huckleberry House, which serves at-risk and homeless young adults, around 18-24 years old. Through the organization’s transitional living program, she was able to get an apartment. She worked multiple jobs while attending Columbus Alternative High School.“Ella's always been inspiring,” said Thomas, 37, of Reynoldsburg.

“I think it really helped them to relate," Wilson said."She was able to tell them where she’s been and where she’s gone, and I think it almost gave them some hope.""She wasn’t harsh with the young people," Wilson added."She was very caring. I was really impressed with that.”Williams also is passionate about educating her customers, especially people from minority communities.

Williams said she is working to build a mobile tea trailer to not only make traveling easier, but to host outdoor tea parties and classes. She also hopes to open a brick-and-mortar location in the future.Omni Franco said last Sunday’s event was her first high-tea experience.
