Camellia's Sin Tea Parlor and Gift Shop
Lovely tea room with co-ordinated settings at each place. Hostess was very attentive. Her selection of teas for each course was perfect, though wether loose or bagged teas were used is unknown as all pots arrived without bag or leaves. Unfortunately it was a busy day and the tea did not arrive hot enough. Her brand of English Breakfast is a poor quality and rather weak. The wild mushroom soup was fabulous, though by the end of the serving the flavor of garlic overpowered the mushroom. Both the raisin and lavender scones were rather dry and a bit hard. Lemon curd was delicious, lite and the perfect bite. Devonshire cream was more like a light whip cream. Our cucumber/cream cheese sandwich had the delightful twist of red pepper and garlic salt sprinkled on top. The best I've had yet. The olive nut sweatbreat was wonderful, the savory a rather sad store bought item. The chicken salad on croissant could have used a little bit of something to take it from bland to tasty. Deserts were ok, but the jelly bean sugar cookie was stale, hard and had soggy jellybeans. Obviously stored in the freezer since easter. Atmosphere and tea rated better than food.
