Today I'm chatting with you guys about a book I happened upon at my LOCAL Library! How cool is that? It is a well thought-out, smartly drafted collection that begins with the full complete and thurough history of Tea time, then introduces poetry by a wide variety of voices and authors on an even wider variety of topics, before giving you recipes, menu plans, and setups for hosting your own poetic tea time adventure! I have always had a fond place in my heart for tea and poetry and the connection they share in my day to day and its so incredible to see that other people feel this way and that there's a book out there that truly wants to help you have and even host a great experience combining the two!
