Shelby's Tea House

The Long Distance Tea!

Session on September 20, 2026 with Katherine, Sam

Hey, friends!

What a wonderful Summer afternoon it's been to share tea together!

Sharing tea is my passion. And it is especially rewarding having shared with people who understand the spirit of tea!

I wish you well on your journey, both physical and the one called life!

Come, see me for tea again – maybe in a different season, when leaves change colors and tea changes minds!

Steam is in the air!
