It’s not every day you see history being made over a cup of tea, but that’s exactly what happened at The Savoy Hotel in London during Guinness World Records Day 2024. Rumeysa Gelgi, the tallest woman living, and Jyoti Amge, the shortest woman living, came together for the very first time to share an unforgettable afternoon tea.

Decked out for a lavish girls’ day out, these two icons spent a relaxing morning bonding over delicious pastries and perfectly brewed tea. Amidst the grandeur of The Savoy, their meeting was nothing short of magical—a true celebration of uniqueness and friendship.

The event wasn’t just about the record-breaking heights (or lack thereof) — it was about connection. "It was wonderful to meet someone who also represents Guinness World Records in such a special way," shared Rumeysa. Jyoti chimed in, calling the moment “truly unforgettable.”

Guinness World Records Day is all about celebrating extraordinary achievements, and what better way to do that than with a heartwarming meeting between two remarkable women? Their story reminds us all that greatness comes in all sizes—and that tea and good company can make any day iconic.
