The HSCC x Club Boutika’s approach to High Tea is to unify the different sectors of creatives within the San Diego area to underline the rich, meaningful & diverse culture we share across communities of color. High Tea is a concept that originated in England during the 1700s, preserving the idea of catering/serving tea and confections to the white-elite, aristocrats and the wealthy throughout the hours of afternoon to supper in a leisurely and posh fashion. In the early 19th century, Black Tea Rooms were created for the upper crust of black society after being excluded from white-run tea rooms post-slavery.

The Hill Street Country Club x Club Boutika acknowledge that Oceanside and Goat Hill Park mark ancestral land that was wrongfully stolen from the Kumeeyay and Luiseño peoples. The HSCC extends its respect and gratitude to the Kumeyaay and Luiseño peoples who have lived here since time immemorial. Today, the Kumeyaay and Luiseño peoples continue to maintain their political sovereignty and cultural traditions as vital members of the San Diego Community. High Tea is a reclamation of community, culinary, and culture, and we understand that our work is not done until our indigenous siblings are liberated, celebrated and affirmed along side all members of Turtle Island. Settler colonialism is an ongoing issue and we must continue to build our mindfulness of our present participation, and encourage our community to do the same.
