Before I was a tea blender I was a writer.

I write about tea here on the blog,
but I also write about creating spaces.
Spaces in a home.
Spaces in nature.
Spaces in time.

I call it creating analog spaces in a digital world.

This website is my personal name because I added the tea shop to a site that was once only a blog. I’ve considered changing the name to the business name. It would be more professional. But I’m not a brand,
and my name captures a little bit of everything I love.

Maybe you’ll click for the writing, take a pass, and leave with tea instead. Maybe you’ll come for tea and find a poem instead.

Either way, you are welcome here and I’m glad you stopped by.
