Changing Lives, One sip at a time

In 2022, Friendswood High School Special Education teacher Ashley Naylor recognized a need for meaningful job training and employment opportunities for her students after graduation. Spending countless hours researching and visiting various businesses, the Naylors decided on a mobile business model that is event-driven, affordable, and has an easy-to-follow system.

Ashley collaborated with a friend and fellow teacher who taught an “Incubator” class where several students helped create more ideas for a business as part of a class project.  Ashley shared her vision and mentored the students who presented the project in a “Shark Tank”-style event. The business idea was met with a high level of enthusiasm and strong community support.

This was the confirmation needed to move forward with the business plan. Ashley retired in May 2023, and her family purchased and launched the first TEAgether tea trailer. With the support of family, community friends, and local officials, the business had a successful soft opening on July 2, 2023, and a grand opening at the Friendswood 4th of July celebration.

Today, TEAgether employs young adults with disabilities in Texas and Louisiana. The business is now a preferred vendor for the City of Friendswood and many other local community events. TEAgether’s mission is to help young adults with disabilities gain confidence, independence, and meaningful employment. 

They also enjoy giving back to Special Olympics!

TEAgether is excited to announce plans to expand into communities throughout the great state of Texas and Louisiana in the summer of 2025.  We invite you to inquire about starting a TEAgether business in your community. Join us on this journey as we work towards creating meaningful connections and supporting every community! 

Our menu is inspired by organic, non-GMO tea flavors that cover all the bases. They range from bold black iced tea to strawberry-flavored blends. We have 6 delicious choices: Sweet Black Tea, Unsweet Black Tea, Strawberry Dragonfruit, Fruity Tea, Hibiscus, and Lemonade. We serve only the freshest, delightful teas over ice.

We serve our teas in a 32-oz cup with lots of ice to make it a cool delight!

We would love to pop up at an event, school function or community celebration in your area. 

Contact us if you are interested in hearing more about TEAgether as a business opportunity.
