Edna makes the tea.


As you meander up California's Central Coast, you may , or may not, find yourself in a very small town called Edna. It contains a tea shop. And what a tea shop. If you happen to be English, you will become part of an impromptu tea tasting session. Frankly, cancel anything you had planned, sit back and, as they say, enjoy a nice cup of tea. The delightful host, whose name I impolitely forgot to ask, but fervently hope was Edna, is one of life's pleasures. If you can think of a better name for someone to serve your tea, let me know, unless it's Elsie.

Anyway, Edna's teas are gorgeous and the number of customers, despite it being off the beaten track, suggest that many others think so too. So, Ladies and Gentlemen, next time you have a tea, before you take the first sip, lean back and say to yourself, "This one's for Edna!"
