We will be serving tea and beverages, lots of laughs, and you will take home a nice microwave bowl cozy that you made yourself. 

We will be serving a variety of teas at the Sip N Serge by Mr. Randy and Mr. Aaron!  Let us know your favorite tea flavor!  And you're welcome to bring other beverages, also!
