High Tea Cottage
I had the pleasure of experiencing the High Tea Cottage today. Over 200 tea selections and the expertise to share how they are grown, where they come from and what to expect. The ambiance is inviting, cozy and a bit magical. I say this because while I was enjoying my own experience I witnessed something I've never seen before in all the years I've been in this business. A little girl arrived with her Mother for a special High Tea afternoon. The owner Jenn had asked some specific questions from the Mother when the reservation was made. The names of her pets was one that comes to mind. Jenn shared that the Tea Fairy had told her the little girl was coming and she also told her about the little girls pets. It went on from there but I have to tell you the magical moment was watching the little girl whisper to her Mom 'did you hear that??? the tea fairy knew we were coming!' Each course was elegantly introduced and served. The tea sandwiches, meat pie with delicious salad, freshly baked scones paired with several jams of fig, apricot, raspberry and blueberry followed by a full plate of perfectly prepared desserts was exquisite. I highly recommend the High Tea Cottage for a very special afternoon!
