According to Downtown Austin Blog friend Yola of the UT Urban Development Society:
“I also wanted to give you a heads up on the Tea Embassy (located at 9th and Rio Grande). If you didn’t already know, they are giving away free chocolate and tea samples on Friday and Saturday from 10AM-6PM. It sounds like a good afternoon Valentine’s Day plan that others might find interesting.”
Thanks, Yola!
