My Place of Serenity in Florence

           It was a pleasant discovery when my English student suggested to have our first lesson here, where she works. She needed English lessons to help her in her work as she comes into contact with the scores of tourists in Florence at the new outlet nearer the historic centre.


       After that first lesson, I found myself drawn to this place again and again. It is such a charming little shop, where customers can purchase tea, or drink tea at the little tables placed around. There is a great variety of tea; white, green, black and many tea fusions to offer the taste palette. The shop is situated in a very local section, where hardly tourists find their way. I hope it remains its tranquility though I did not do a very good job by bringing visiting friends to the shop.

       A perfect place to enjoy a leisure afternoon, in the company of friends or some self-reflection and quiet reading.
