Hina's Tea Is The Place To Hang Out

Haven't been to Hina's in Midtown yet? Better get down there and check it out! It is across from Rick's Dessert Diner. Buy a sweet treat from Rick's and take it over to Hina's for a cup of tea to drink with it! Choose a Darjeeling or a Tippy Yunnan to compliment the sweetness of the dessert!

Everytime I go into Hina's and belly up to the bar I meet other tea people! I met two male hair dressers who own Ronny Hair City in Sacramento and had an interesting conversation. We were trying to put a label on Hina's decor. I said it was miminal like Japanese decor and they said the Jetsons meet IKEA. We agreed it was terrific no matter the label. I'm terrible at remembering names but I hope to see them at their shop!



Another fun moment at Hina's is when I met a writer for Mainline Magazine named Ryan who wanted to interview me about my podcast. I found out that he is a podcaster also! We drank tea and spent a couple of hours talking about tea and podcasting! Ryan and his photographer came by my "Tea Barn" to take pictures of me in my podcast studio. I can't wait to see the article!

How sweet it is to meet new and interesting friends over tea!!!!

Another event I attended was the Strauss Festival of Elk Grove's Spring Tea! I was invited to be a table decorator for the tea. I took tea with five ladies and once again we bonded over Afternoon Tea.
