I started this blog as a way to combine two things that I really like – my long-time experience drinking and selecting tea, and spending time with good friends. My goal is to provide Washington DC area tea drinkers with reviews of different afternoon tea services so they have this information in one place.
For the last several years, a group of close friends and I have met for afternoon tea during the Christmas holidays at a different hotel in Washington, DC, and we always have a great time. There is something about drinking tea in a nice environment that encourages good conversations and a feeling of connectedness. I decided that I wanted to have this experience more than once a year.
My plan is to try different afternoon tea services in the DC area with some friends and write reviews that may be helpful to other tea drinkers. I‘ll go as often as possible (probably every month or so because high tea can be expensive and it is a lot of calories if I eat all of those sweets too often!). I‘ll share information with you on the atmosphere/ambience, tea/food quality, service, and cost.
I’ll start with DC hotel teas service and include some smaller venues, too. If you have any suggestions for places to try, please let me know! Also, as you can probably tell, this is my first blog, so I hope that my reviews and the content will improve over time.
“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.” ― Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady
