Can't Spell Teacher Without Tea!
Session on December 28, 2025 with Meghan, Zoë, Kai, Yakari
Hi fam!
What a delightful winter evening it's been to savor some fine teas with you all!
Sharing tea is delightful as it is, but it's extra special for me, when my guests are already steeped in the tea culture (see what I did there? lol)
Anyway, I hope to see you again for tea, maybe in a different season, when we can share different teas, suiting to the current weather.
And do send your friends my way...
