Drop by to share tea and sweets from a different culture each week and chat about any and everything. Tea is the medium for a ritual that is practiced daily around the world. Though the ritual may vary, tea carves out time and space for hospitality, tradition and mediation. Come share with us. 

This week's theme will be small bites from Yemen, hosted by Sumaya and Shada abubaker. Sumaya and Shade grew up with their older sister in California's Central Valley. They lived and learned the tradition of tea from their mother and family visits to Yemen.
