Alice Cravens is the owner of Modern Tea, and even though she loves being behind the tea bar or out on the dining room floor with customers, she is always trying to find ways to sneak back into the kitchen. This has been one of the most rewarding and fun ways to do that.
Besides running a restaurant, she also supplies tea to several restaurants in the Bay Area.Nora Brereton is the lead garden educator for the Hayes Valley Neighborhoods Parks Group and is based at both John Muir Elementary School and Koshland Park. For several years she has developed programs centered around educating youth about where our food comes from and how rewarding it is to grow, harvest & cook your own food.
Alicia Paullin is our lead savory chef at Modern Tea and she lives for fun in the kitchen. But she also has magical talents in the organizational, motivational and sheer "turning something delicious out of nothing" realms that make her a perfect, professional foil to whomever else happens to be in the kitchen.
