New tea festival update! The Steeping Room will now be able to hold 24 attendees. Have you ever wondered what happens in that room when the tea festival is out of session? Rosemary's Machine Shop with apprentice welder Cedar takes over the space for most of the year. He recently purchased a new location and will be moving his shop and equipment which will create additional seating for the specialty tasting sessions. We are busy finalizing the tea tasting line up and will update the website later this year. Tickets go on sale July 1st.
