Once upon a time, Laura shared her love of an energizing cup of tea with Robbie. Robbie taught Laura how to knit... As with many things in life, you don't always realize an opportunity in one or two passing, yet shared, moments with a friend. We realized that our interests in taste, texture & aroma were the same, yet different. Our aha moment? That we could create a backdrop for sharing our love of these elemental senses with you. That is what Tea for Ewe is all about. We've formed a business partnership offering combinations of tastes, textures and aromas... offerings for your palate; offerings for your fingertips & skin; aromatic offerings that soothe, inspire, revitalize you; offerings of comfort, relaxation & composure. Join us on our journey; a journey detailing our adventure while we share offerings of taste, texture, aroma and comfort. Browse our store for beautiful gift baskets, a wide assortment of aromatic & healthy teas, scrumptious baked goods, hand-crafted soaps and of course, quality yarnsfor knitting and crocheting! We hope you will find among our offerings something that tickles you, something that will taste, feel and smell delicious. Whatever the result, don't hesitate to share your thoughts, mutual loves and advice on our blog.
