After overhearing two women having a fairly ignorant conversation about Indigenous people at his local coffee shop in Perth, Australia, Jarred Wall decided to buy the pair a pot of tea. The kind note he left them has since spread across the boundless plains of the internet, with Wall being praised for his dignified handling of the incident.

Wall appeared on Australian panel show The Project Monday night, recounting the exchange and the spoke of the overwhelming reception from the public.

Wall told the panel that after an interview on NITV, he went to a nearby cafe where a random young couple sent a pot of tea to his table with a note reading "there should be more people like you #EnglishBreakfastTea".

Tea for social change? We're down.
