Tea Sommeliers-in-Training joined
PML Library Assistant, Ms. Shannon for “Steeped in Fun” to learn about tea through a hands-on herbal tea blending program!

Each young tea afficiado was gifted a tea cup and saucer which they were encouraged to decorate with provided porcelain markers.

And each tea participant not only left with a fancy tea vessel but a tea gift bag as well as their own hand blended teas too! 💕🫖🍵🍪

Additionally Ms. Shannon brewed a variety of herbal teas for her guests to try with a provided cookie too. 😋
