Growing up in the South of Europe, teas were viewed as health remedies. During my early travels, I discovered the real meaning of enjoying a cup of tea.
Russian tea sweetened with sour cherry preserve, the smells and sounds of the Turkish Tea Houses, the ceremonial teas in China and Japan  are ways to let us slow down, relax and meditate on all the things of value in our lives in a traditional, modern or playful way.
I now live in Ladera Ranch, CA and I work in general Orange county area.
