As we were chatting and catching up she says to me in her endearing accent “Darling, this tea is divine. I am going to write about it on my blog.” Of course the tea is divine I said, it is so fresh you can taste the gentle sweetness of the sea air which infuses the leaves with an unmatched flavor, but I could not conceal my jealousy. Ariana had a blog, and alas I with all my titles and tea plantations, cutting edge retail stores and an even more glamorous jet set life, I did not have a blog. But now I do and I can share with the world my passion for tea. My family has been in the tea business for centuries and amassed a fortune and married into royalty and now I - La Serenissima, can share with you all that my Royal Family at Le Palais Gourmet has to offer.
