Tea is my passion. As a young girl (and being truly South African of course), I grew up thinking that there is only one type of tea and that is Rooibos! Since then I have discovered the wonderful varieties and accompanying ceremonies and rituals of tea. In May 2008 I was in the very fortunate position to attend the World Tea Expo at the Mandalay Bay Convention Centre in Las Vegas. I tasted the World's finest teas and met the most interesting people - totally devoted to the tea-lifestyle, where having tea provides time for reflection, quiet conversation and celebrating life! I want to share this enthusiasm with all my friends and family and of course my patrons. I have a lot of books about the traditions and etiquette surrounding tea which is fascinating!

If you are cold, tea will warm you.
If you are heated, it will cool you.
If you are depressed, it will cheer you.
If you are excited, it will calm you.

William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898)
