Why Take These Classes

Tea Made Effortless, Elegant & Full of Heart

For 30 years I've poured tea for friends, churches, and community groups, and I've learned that a beautiful tea isn't about perfection. It's about taking time to treasure those you love.

These courses take the guesswork out of hosting. From choosing your teas and menu to setting the table and practicing gracious etiquette, I'll walk beside you every step of the way.

Whether it's an intimate table for four or a grand gathering of 400, you'll feel confident and prepared.
