After Thanksgiving, we will be open 7 days a week through December 24. Our holiday hours will be Sunday noon - 4 pm; Monday through Thursday 10 am - 5 pm; and Friday & Saturday 10 am - 4 pm.

Please stop by to check out the Christmas displays, gift baskets, and new teas.. Until then - drink more tea, Lorraine
