Tea Time

My new friend (and co-worker) Teresa took me out to lunch today to a little old house right by my work. This little old house has been turned into a tea house with the cleaver name Tea 'n You. I love new places to eat and she just knew I would love this place. It's very little inside with only a handful of tables and a backroom that is only for "tea parties" (I can't wait until I have a little girl to take there with her friends for a tea party). There were only two people on staff, one was the owner, the other our waitress. The owner came out and made her recommendations as well as explain what a few things were on the menu. We decided to have the "Tea 'n You Lunch" which let us sample a little bit of everything the tea house had to offer. I had their homemade broccoli cheese soup, tea sandwiches which included five little individual sandwiches such as egg salad, tuna fish, chicken salad with apricot spread, spinach & artichoke, and cucumber & cream cheese spread. Then for dessert we had a homemade scone with lemon and whip cream for dipping. We also couldn't go to a tea house without sampling some tea (I know I have to be very cautious consuming teas, and I'm not sure if the tea I had was "legal" but it didn't have caffeine so...) so we both tried their tiger spice chai tea with whip cream and spices on top. Teresa said it tasted a lot like Mexican hot chocolate. It was delicious. We were both so impressed with our yummy lunch and fun experience that we're going to make it a monthly ritual. I love fun places to eat that are out of the norm!
