Shelley and Bruce Richardson made their debut on the world tea stage in 1990 when they opened a tea room in a historic inn in the middle of Kentucky. Their unique blend of art, tea and culinary creations brought visitors to their door from around the world. Fourteen years, three cookbooks and 100,000 scones later, the couple closed the curtain on their successful tearoom stage and moved into sourcing and blending teas for a nationwide audience through their company Elmwood Inn Fine Teas.
Through their numerous books, magazine articles, and workshops, the Richardsons continue to share the timeless lessons they learned about proportions and balance in crafting a tea for two, or fifty-two.
