Shelby's Tea House

Not all those who wander are lost

Session on August 16, 2026 with Rere

Hello, friend!

What a pleasant summer afternoon this has been!

Sharing tea is delightful as it is, but it's extra special for me, when my guests are new to "Luh-ville"

I hope to see you again for tea, maybe in a different season, when we can share different teas, suiting to the current weather.
