A lot can be said for pushing start on the Keurig™ while wearing your favorite pair of yoga pants and a roomy sweatshirt – and then waiting the short 30 seconds it takes for the machine to spit out your cup of tea. But where is the fun in that? Not when you can rustle up some lady friends and go experience the tea as well as drink it! If you’ve never been to a real tea room, then check this out:
