Yesterday was very nice. They had a lovely tea menu to choose from. I am not a tea drinker, so it was kind of a crap shoot for me, but I chose a Sencho from Japan and liked it very much. My 8 yr. old chose a Peppermint, and I don't remember the other two. We each had our own pot and a beautiful cup and saucer. Our server brought out a three tiered plate. On the bottom were plain, raisin, and cranberry-orange scones with cream and strawberry preserves. The scones were fresh out of the oven! On the next tier were little sandwiches. Ham, egg-salad, and cucumber-cream cheese. There were also little mushroom tarts and Shepherd's pie tarts. On the top were chocolate-covered strawberries, tiny lemon bars, shortbread, and a few others I can't remember!! It was fun for us older people, but my daughter made faces at the things she didn't like! She did like the tea, however. What a fun experience!! |
