We held our first Fully Loaded Tea party at the Natural Products Expo West on Saturday, March 19th. As promised, the Russian-theme didn’t disappoint! We had 15 kinds of vodka at our open bar, Fully Loaded Tea hostesses, tattoos with our logo, a Siberian bear in a massive gold chain to entertain the guests, and fur hats (faux fur, naturally) for our esteemed guests!

We got back to our Siberian roots and showed how to throw a proper party Russian-style! It’s proof that a party is good when all the fur hats were missing by the end of the night, the bear was exhausted from vodka shots and someone got a tattoo on their belly!

One highlight of the night came when Milton from Yogi Tea thought it would be a great idea to crash our party and have a few drinks on us. Milton, you’re going in our Hall of Shame for that one!

Thank you to all invited guests who came - we had a blast and hope you did too! If there is a picture you don’t see in our gallery, but would like to receive, please send us a note and we’ll find it for you. See you at next year’s party!
