A lovely tea! We really enjoyed our tea choices, I had the seasonal peach tea with a brown sugar cube that hit the spot! The scones were delicious, one savory and one sweet. Then, all of the tea sandwiches were delicious, even though 2 or 3 really stood out to us. The desserts were very good too, although we missed having a chocolate treat! We will definitely be back for more!
