Mrs. Hardesty's Tea Room
At a young age I would engage in tea parties with my Mom. My Mom is a coinsurer of tea. Many peoples’ parents start their day with cups of coffee, but my Mom has always started her day and ended her night with a cup of tea. Now that I am older I have inherited my mother’s love for tea and everything that goes along with it. Recently my Mom and Dad came to visit me at school and I made plans to surprise my Mom and take her for lunch and tea at Mrs. Hardesty’s Tea Room. I had made reservations ahead of time; reservations are not required but are recommended. The three of us came in and were seated at a quaint table with lace doilies and fresh cut flowers in the middle of the table. The menu had lunch sandwiches and salad options. The tea list featured 30 teas and the server is knowledgeable in all of them. My Mom put their knowledge to the test and decided on Queen Anne’s tea which has a hint of lavender in it and tastes as wonderful as it smells. We enjoyed fresh backed scones and choose between raspberry, blueberry and chocolate. Naturally we had to try all three options with homemade cream to top off the treat. My Dad, who is a faithful coffee drinker, greatly enjoyed his fill of tea along with the scones. All in all it was a wonderful afternoon. The charmed atmosphere of the tea room let in lots of light because of its many windows and the service was fun and cheerful. It was easy to see that the servers were as passionate about tea as the guests who came to experience. The most important thing about tea time is not only the tea but how and who you enjoys it with and I give two thumbs up to my company, Mom and Dad, and Mrs. Hardesty’s Tea Room is the perfect place to enjoy scones and put your pinky’s up!
