You don’t have to be the Dowager Countess to appreciate a fresh cup of fine tea brewed the right way, and that’s why your friends at the Tea Smith are hosting a Proper Afternoon Tea for everyone to enjoy! So grab a cup, put your pinkies up in the air like you do care, and join the party this upcoming September 18th and 24th at our Old Market location.
Have you ever wondered about the difference between “high tea” and “low tea”? Curious about the proper way to enjoy scones or savory treats while you converse with fellow tea drinkers? Worried about slurping when you’re trying to sip? Put yourself in the hands of experts, steep yourself in some tea culture with us and we promise you’ll become a more refined and educated tea drinker by the time we’re through!
We’re excited to be featuring tasty treats from local chef Jillian Mal from The Green Bowl Project. A graduate of the French Culinary Institute of New York City, Jillian is bringing years of experience from the restaurant world to share with all of us. She’s well-versed in classical cuisine and passionate about health and nutrition.
What’s on the menu? Delicious tea sandwiches (including classic cucumber), savories like spinach and mushroom tarts, classic scones, yellow sponge cake with apricot jam and fresh cream, and tasty sweets like ginger biscuits to round things out. You’ll love what Jillian’s selected to pair up with a sampling of some of the Tea Smith’s finest brews.
The fun starts at 2pm, so if you’d like to reserve a spot for a spot of tea, make sure you call ahead to our Old Market Location. See you there!
