His bio;
Guisepi's past is hazey at most. Some say he was raised by a pack of baboons in Amazonian South America, sipping Mate while swinging from vine to vine. Others say he was born to a high lama in the highest inhabitable peaks of the Himalaya, drinking tea to beat off the cold and for meditational clarity. Recent reports, however, place his early years in Washington State, where he rarely drank any tea, other than when his mother made him when he was sick.

Regardless of his roots, his life is an evolution of the archetype of the American man - traveling the land, meeting all the characters therein, and working for a better America. Themes in his life include hobos and trains, gypsies and caravans, clowns and circuses, bards and vaudeville, cowboys and the west, tea masters and the orient, pirates and the maritime.

Thier idea;

PHILOSPOPHY:
- The Free Tea Party offers an alternative to, and a balance for, self-centered philosophies often fostered by our society. This alternative is based on the "gift economy," or the idea that goods and services can be given without anything required in return. We believe that selfishness should be balanced out by selflessness.
- We also practice the principles of permaculture, nonviolent conflict resolution, and consensus decision-making.
- Although we are non-partisan, we support people, movements, and politicians who strive for positive socio-environmental change. Althought we are non-denominational, we respect core values and morals, as all religions are based upon a common ground. Although we are non-profit in the monetary sense, we see profit in the personal, social and environmental realms through our actions.
