What They’re Saying
- Nicole has an astounding degree of knowledge in teas and tea preparation. I attended her workshop at Studio 174 in Bayonne, NJ and it was a truly delightful event. Not only did she invite us to taste several types of tea, going in a progression that kept things exciting, she had treats on offer that came directly our of her amazing cookbook (which I immediately purchased!). I’m so grateful to know someone who is as passionate about teas as I am about textiles. I would definitely attend one of Nicole’s workshops again!

In the beverage industry, expertise is valuable—but finding someone who combines that expertise with a truly TEAlightful experience—is priceless.
