Welcome to Julita's Blog at SweeTea's.  I hope you will enjoy visiting it to catch up with what is happening with me, the previous owner of SweeTea's.  If you are reading this, it is because you somehow know me or had visited my tea room in the past.  I had opened in October 2007 in a darling space in the patio shops courtyard.  We served tea, scones and traditional tea meals for over four years.  I saw it as a ministry more than a business.  I enjoyed offering Christian hospitality to all those who came through the door.   God also blessed me with great staff over the years:  Holly Sander, my first chef and friend who I could not have opened the doors without; Tina Long, my first server and super organizer; Christina Kcraszczcak, my second server, graphic designer and musician; Valeria Benavides, my second chef, the cream puff baker extraordinaire; Joann Perez, my third server, a kind encourager who made me laugh; and Josefina Tso-Guillen, my fourth server, the gentle welcomer to all of our customers .  All of these people helped to make SweeTea's a pleasant place to visit and have a cup of tea.
It will be hard to close the doors this coming Sunday.  I have prayed about it and God has given me peace.  It is well with my soul.
