Rebecca Goldschmidt
Owner and Creator
Becky created The Random Tea Room out of a need for calm in a chaotic world. Before opening the space, she didn’t know much about tea, only that she was searching for something that could help her slow down and feel more present. Through that search, she discovered how deeply tea could support focus, balance, and connection, becoming a form of self-medication and mindful practice while navigating life with ADHD.
Over the past 17 years, The Random Tea Room has grown into a warm, welcoming corner of Philadelphia. A place filled with good energy, international teas, healing herbs, and community. Becky has cultivated a circle of “Cha Ren” (tea people) who come together to share stories, curiosity, and tea.
At its heart, The Random Tea Room is an ongoing experiment in connection, between people, plants and the small rituals that keep us grounded. For Becky, it’s proof that something created out of personal need can become a shared refuge for many.
