...a place to sit back, relax and unwind with a cup of herbal tea and chat about books, writers and the literary arts. Some people that know me personally have heard me talking about buying a cozy, Victorian home and opening a literary tea room. However, the more I thought about it in this era of globalization; a "physical spot" would be limited to the people that could physically come and visit. However, this virtual Literary Tea room can connect people to "chats without borders."
Greetings...
...Relax, have a hot cup of herbal tea with us, and share your thoughts, ideas, poems...
