Our Purpose

Haute Green Tea is devoted to the enlightenment of the extraordinary individual.

We amplify the voices and inner worlds of POC+ artists, writers, and thinkers through fashion, beauty, mental health, and lifestyle commentary that prioritizes depth over trends.

Our goal is to offer clarity, reflection, and cultural context—creating a space where aesthetic expression and inner development are held in equal regard.

Our Philosophy

Haute Green Tea is a space for thoughtful living.

Haute because beauty, style, and presentation are languages—not distractions.

Green because wellness must be sustainable, grounded, and honest about systems, not just self.

Tea because conversation is how culture actually shifts.

We believe healing requires more than awareness. It requires practice.

We believe softness and structure can coexist.

We believe under-represented individuals deserve clarity—not platitudes.

Haute Green Tea exists to hold the conversations that help us live more consciously, more beautifully, and more responsibly.

Founder & Editor-In-Chief: Taylor Lauren Williams

Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, which is known as “The City of Good Neighbors”, Taylor has always had a good sense of community. She is passionate about her work. Her love for sharing knowledge is how she found her way into Journalism. She prides herself in making sure that people have accurate information because it aids in obtaining the best outcomes. In May of 2019, Taylor received a Bachelor’s degree from Canisius College in Journalism and Communications and minor studies in Sociology with a concentration in Child, Family, and Community Studies.

Taylor is currently pursuing dual Master’s degrees and licensing in Counseling. She received her Master’s degree and licensing in School Counseling in December 2024, followed by a Certificate of Advanced Study in Mental Health Counseling. Her commitment to promoting mental health and wellbeing in community and educational contexts is shown in these extensive studies.

Although she may seem quiet or shy upon first introduction, Taylor has a vibrancy that is undeniable once you're allowed a look within. She is observant and curious, and the passion behind her curiosities is what ensures her drive. As a mediator-type personality, Taylor is often trying to understand other people’s true feelings. She is creative and a risk-taker. She finds her own lane and when that one seems to look a bit over-saturated, she’ll begin setting the foundation down for a new one.

Authenticity is a cornerstone of Taylor’s character. She seeks opportunities for self-expression and remains true to herself in all endeavors. She values the differences among people while appreciating the commonalities they share. Open-minded yet loyal to her own values, Taylor navigates her world with integrity and insight.

Taylor’s efforts are aimed at sharing her situated knowledge and the extended insights of those she welcomes to her platform, providing valuable perspectives on various topics. As a future counselor, her traits of empathy, active listening, patience, and strong ethical values will undoubtedly enrich the lives of those she serves.
