Tea Talk

How many times have you been asked what are you passionate about? What makes your heart sing and feeds your soul? For me, most of you would guess tea, and you’d be correct. My store, sharing my teas with my wonderful customers, gives me great pleasure. But what else? Did you know I love to read?

I took some time to reflect on the blessings of 2022, of which there were many, and what I’m looking forward to doing in 2023. The month of January, for me, is all about getting physical.
