Mich and Stefani Bignell are a mother/daughter TEAm of tea enthusiasts. Mich is the "M" and Stefani is the "S" and together these Bignell ladies make up MS. B's.

Mich has always loved tea, whether it is the beverage, the tiny works of art on the tea cups, or the tradition of afternoon tea parties. She would have tea parties for friends and family for a time to relax and enjoy one another's company. Stefani inherited a love of tea and desired to share it with others as well. The Bignell ladies got together and developed the concept for opening a family-run tea room…someday.

The COVID pandemic helped Mich and her husband, Doug, AKA Mr. B, to reconsider priorities in life like family and community. Being residents of Clayton and seeing how much amazing potential their small town has, they knew they wanted to be part in helping to revitalize the community. Being closer to retirement than not, they started thinking about what to do to prepare for this time of their lives. Mich started exploring her lifelong dream of owning a tea room where she could hold tea parties…someday…more earnestly.
