Tsu discovers that she's a witch far later than most. Now she must play catch-up with her training guided by Khan, a seasoned male witch who's just as reluctant to teach as she is to be taught.

The Town Beyond the Tunnel
There's an old train tunnel that doesn't look like much.But at magic hour, when the veil wears thin, it leads somewhere unexpected: Kimbrowood—a haven built by witches, for witches.This is where local obaven, Tsu and Khan, have made their home.While Tsu trades the stage for a counter at Hexpresso café, brewing coffee, courage, and the occasional disaster, Khan is often elsewhere in town—maintaining wards, negotiating with spirits, tending their homestead, and taking his duties as one of Kimbrowood's protectors perhaps a little too seriously.When Tsu discovers a dusty typewriter hidden in the café's back room, she begins documenting it all and sending them beyond the tunnel—To you!
HEXPRESSO
Letter Club
Hexpresso Letter Club is a fantasy narrative snail mail experience following a ballerina witch who trades the stage for café life during her off-season at Hexpresso Coffee.Alongside her spouse and their loved ones in the magical town of Kimbrowood, she shares bits of everyday life with you through letters as they navigate the cozy chaos of the town they call home.

The Tunnel to Kimbrowood
"The tunnel's got rules. Opens during magic hour, stays open for a limited time, and only allows a certain number of visitors through. Probably for the best—Kimbrowood's a home, not a tourist attraction.And that's after we updated the tunnel wards. Time window used to be much tighter." — Khan
The passage to Kimbrowood opens on the 1st of each month and closes on the 18th of the month.Letters are packed and sent out during the following week!If you sign up after the passage has closed, you will receive next month's letter.Ex. The tunnel closes on July 18th and you signed up on July 19th, you will receive August's letter.
