Shelby's Tea House

When Tea Tasted Like Andy

Session on April 18, 2026 with Kate, Katie & Shelly

Hey tea friends!

What a delightful late Spring evening it's been to savor some fine teas with y'all!

Sharing tea is delightful as it is, but it's extra special for me with the local guests!

I wish you well on the journey that is life, and hope to see you again for tea, maybe in a different season, when we can share different teas, suiting to the current weather.
