 | Tidbit of the Week: I’ve always been a tea lover & I was way overdue for a visit to Queen Esther’s Tea located between Ogden and Hampstead. Adrienne, the owner, is one of the most radiant people you will meet and she’s always happy to brew you up a custom drink based on your preferences or healing qualities! Her tea company was born out of her personal war with fatigue and burn out. The shop is nestled in with Grumpy Grandpa’s Coffee on Poplar Plantation, so you can even enjoy surrounded by history and farm animals! |
