Kelly and Bryan Hackman – a husband and wife team based in New Port Richey, Fla., have united their love of tea and beer, respectively, into thriving businesses
Kelly Hackman, Tea Sommelier and owner of The White Heron Tea & Gifts, had the pleasure of pairing delicious teas from her exclusive tea line, Driftwood Tea Company, to host the perfect Garden Party tea time.
Being a part of the successful revitalization of downtown New Port Richey and being named Best of the Best Tea Room in the Tampa Bay area has helped The White Heron become one of the most sought after unique destinations in the area.
Don’t you deserve to be treated like a queen? We think so! The easiest way to get the royal treatment is to visit one of these incredibly charming tea rooms in Florida
The White Heron Tea & Gifts is excited to announce that our Lavender Vanilla White Tea has received a "Highly Commended" designation from the International Tea Academy Leafie Awards out of the UK. Check out our press kit here about this delicious tea!
