Holly, Jolly Tea Friends!
Session on December 22, 2025 with Georgia, Arsh & Ari; Rebecca & Chloe
Hey tea-friends!
What a delightful winter evening it's been to savor some fine teas with you all!
I write to you from the waiting area at Norton Audubun. They're about to take me in for the surgery!
Sharing tea is delightful as it is, but it's extra special for me, when my guests are celebrating, and are already steeped in the tea culture (see what I did there? lol)
Anyway, I hope to see each one of you again for tea, maybe in a different season, when we can share different teas, suiting to the current weather.
