A Mug's Life
A look into people's mug collections, and the meaning a cup of tea/coffee has for us. The premise is that guests bring on 3-5 mugs on and it's a catalyst for broader conversation. Episodes are released monthly and there will also be special Tea Talks episodes about other topics enjoyed with a mug in hand
