      Wonderful tea learning experience

      Ashley gave an amazing presentation about the history of tea, different kinds of teas, useful tea equipment, and the proper brewing process. I am not a very avid tea drinker, but with Ashley walking us through each step and answering our questions as we went along was such an enjoyable experience. The tea we all had was pretty good! I think the whole group had fun! Thank you so much!

      Amazing tea

      The owner is incredibly knowledgeable of tea and tea culture. You know it's good tea since it's smooth and has the lingering scent at the bottom of the tea cup.
