Their love, perhaps, was written in the tea leaves. Bruce and Shelley Richardson, who met 32 years ago as grad students in a Louisville orchestra, are passionate about music, the arts, cooking and tea. Through their company, Elmwood Inn Fine Teas, the Perryville couple import and blend teas, publish books and travel far and wide spreading the tea gospel.

Bruce: "I learn things from Shelley every day. She is a prolific reader and life coach who shares her passions about spirituality, art and music with me daily over our morning pot of tea."

Shelley: "I love Bruce's adventurous spirit and courage when it comes to exploring new paths in life, business and community service. He has always encouraged me to live out my highest dreams and goals, which brings great freedom to both of us."
