Tea Party!

Medusa · 06-08-2010, 10:40 AM

Im trying to find a decent tea service here in Little Rock. There is an afternoon tea thing at one of the bed and breakfasts but I think its kinda random and doesnt have a set time.

Is there a certain order that things are done in at a formal afternoon tea?

You may have just found your niche for the right business to open.

I can see it now.

Roadkill Tea Room

....where you can get possum three ways (and three tire tracks too) plus a proper cup of tea.

In the southeast sector of Portland, Oregon we have the Tao of Tea house - they have lovely selections of teas. LINK

I learned about roiboos tea a few years ago: a tea herbalist was sharing with me that it helps the body to retain and absorb iron. It has a light, delicate taste and I tend to sweeten it with honey. *yum*

Last year my daughter and I hosted a "Mom & Me" tea party at a local tea room. We had scrumptious desserts, an amazing tea, and played a couple mingling games. We all wore fancy hats and had tons of fun chattering over our tea cups. I know we'll organize another. I would recommend it for anyone!

It was La-Tea-Da

For those that have trouble with their stomach and can handle a tea with earthiness as I like to call it, Pu Erhs are perfect for it. They tend to be more expensive because some of them are aged teas.

Here's a little about them for those that aren't familiar; The Chinese have hailed Pu Erh tea for centuries as an aid to digestion. Current medical tests have indicated its effectiveness in reducing cholesterol, giving credence to the Chinese tradition of drinking Pu Erh after a heavy, fat-laden meal. The large-leafed tea trees in Yunnan that produce the tea are closely related to the ancient tea plant of preglacial times.

My favorite tea shop is Tea & Sympathy in NYC...mostly just because I love the name!
