This Mother’s Day was a little bittersweet without my sweet pup, Oreo in my life. My husband planned a very special day around my asks. We had a spectacular breakfast buffet at the Brown Hotel. When I say it was spectacular, I mean in every way. Service was so attentive, the tables were decorated with fresh flower centerpieces, the food was more than plentiful. They had everything from ceviche to prime rib. I wanted to try it all.
Our 2nd stop was a place unbeknownst to me, Shelby’s Tea House. The experience can be booked through Airbnb where it is very reasonably priced. The host, Rohit, is so gracious and welcoming into his beautifully designed space. It’s set up as a Japanese tea house. You’re simply transported into that world as soon as he invites you inside. Don’t let the location deter you.
He spent two hours with us, letting us sample four teas and conversing about all types of interesting matters. The presentation is thoughtful prepared and informative. I wish him all the success in his business.
