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.
