A quest to open a community Tea Bar in a historic 18th century Coleraine building is making one last appeal for funds before the deadline in less than 24 hours.
Infuse Tea Bar has been in the heart of town’s tea community since 2017 and its founders have launched ambitious plans to open a ‘community hub’ at the iconic Huey & Henderson’s unit known as the Custom House.
To help fund the plans, co-owners Áine Davis, Duncan Davis, Dan McAuley, and Niamh McAuley launched a Kickstarter campaign last month and, as of this morning, have already raised over £11,000 from 121 backers...however they still need an extra £3,000 to make their dream become reality.

00:00 Our tea bar journey started with a simple idea and a bit of a pipe dream.
00:02 Back in 2017, we helped Onion and Duncan launch a successful Kickstarter to bring the tea
00:07 bar into reality.
00:08 We are incredibly lucky to have built something so extraordinary in the five years of being
00:11 open.
00:12 Now, Dan and Eve are coming on board as co-owners and we cannot wait to tell you about our plans.
00:16 We are proud to have created a beautiful space, brewed up a wonderful sense of community and
00:21 infused Corian with the magic of tea.
00:23 For those that don't know, a tea bar is like a coffee shop, but tea is a superstar.
00:27 We serve up a wonderful variety of teas from classics to unique blends in a cozy and welcoming
00:31 atmosphere.
00:32 What's more, we're also raising a coffee game this time around, so we can serve something
00:36 for everyone.
00:37 Tea Bar 2.0 will be where people can savor unforgettable brews in a safe and inclusive
00:41 environment.
00:42 We've been working on our plans to expand for over two years and thought we'd start
00:45 our move into the space back in March 2022.
00:48 But sometimes the universe has its own plans.
00:50 We said goodbye to our original space that following October when we knew we had to pause
00:54 while we were ahead.
00:55 We've not let this get in the way of our dreams.
00:57 With weather storms and even a pandemic, and now we're ready to take things to the next
01:01 level with Tea Bar 2.0.
01:02 We've been working steadily in the background ever since to make it a reality.
01:06 To us it's not just a tea bar, it's an experience, a sense of connection and community, one we
01:12 can't wait to bring to more people in Corian.
