It's not always easy to make new friends in a big city like Toronto. But an American company making its way here aims to connect you with a random group of like-minded people over a cup (or two) of tea.

Tea With Strangers, as Metro reports, is getting ready to launch in Toronto. The concept is quite simple - you just sign up online for a chance to meet up with about five or six people over tea.

The goal is to give locals a chance to meet in real life, and not just via a screen. Tea With Strangers already operates in 15 different places, including in New York, Seattle, Nairobi and Boston.

Similar initiatives have popped up in Toronto before, including Random Dinner, which brought strangers together for supper.

Would you have tea with strangers? Let us know in the comments.
