Shelby's Tea House

Are We In Kansas Yet?

Session on February 2, 2026 with Adam & Jocelyn

Hey friends!

Thanks for making this time to see me for tea today. Cleaning up and get the space ready for my tea-guest is my favorite way to start my day!

Adam, you are now a regular at the tea-house, and I cannot wait to hear more about your tea-journey! I have shared a resource to get you started with tea-equipment below 😊
