Cleveland Rape Crisis Center and The Tea Lab Partner for Sexual Assault Awareness Month with “I Believe You” Tea Blend

Cleveland Rape Crisis Center (CRCC) is proud to partner with The Tea Lab on a meaningful collaboration in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) this April. Together, they are introducing a limited-edition loose-leaf tea, the “I Believe You” Blend, created to support survivors and raise awareness across the community.

Crafted by The Tea Lab, the caffeine-free blend features Greek mountain tea, rose, lemon balm, ashwagandha, lemongrass, lavender, and other botanicals known for their calming properties—intentionally designed to promote comfort and care.

“We were excited to collaborate with Cleveland Rape Crisis Center on this special project for Sexual Assault Awareness Month,” said Carlos E. Ramos, Owner of The Tea Lab. “We’ve always believed in supporting our community, and this was a creative way to do so. We hope this blend offers a small sense of calm and care for those who need it most.”

The “I Believe You” Blend will be sold in 2-ounce tins for $14.99, with $3 from every purchase donated directly to CRCC to support free, confidential services for survivors of sexual violence, including counseling, advocacy, and prevention education.

“This partnership is a powerful reminder that community care can take many forms,” said Nicole McKinney-Johnson, CRCC President & CEO. “Through something as simple and intentional as a cup of tea, we’re able to uplift survivors and reinforce a message that matters deeply: we believe you, and you are not alone.”

The limited-edition blend will be available throughout April at The Tea Lab and online at tealabcle.com.
