The "Tea Memories" anthology will be comprised of original, non-fiction essays on these and other topics related to tea.  Whether humorous or touching, serious or inspiring, your stories of events, experiences, and transformational moments are invited for submission.

Our intent is to show that tea is far more than something that quenches your thirst.  Tea provides comfort, a time for reflection, and a starting point for conversation.  Tea plays a supporting role in the stories of our lives.  "Tea Memories" aims to share the ways that tea has changed our lives, one cup at a time.

ABOUT THE EDITOR

This anthology project is being developed by Katrina M, the Founder and Editor of Tea Pages blog and website.  Katrina is a freelance writer, tea enthusiast, and a mother of three amazing kids.
