This is the first tea room I have been to in the U.S. that actually did it all right. I have high standards when it comes to the tea in particular, and I was most pleased that the server told us how much time remained in the suggested steeping time and provided dishes to put the tea balls on when we took them out. I have never experienced this standard at other places, where I have had to ask for something to place the tea on when the steeping time is up. The correct amount of tea was in the pot, and the tea itself was high quality and paired perfectly with the food. The scones were actual, authentic scones and served with real, house-made clotted cream and jam. The sandwiches were hearty and delicious. I had to take two of the four pastries home because I was so full at the end, but that is not a complaint! The atmosphere was curated down to the tiniest detail and was clearly created for a real tea experience and not for influencers. Real marble, beautiful china, and carefully selected furniture. Delicate, non obtrusive flowers on the table. Simple pleasures. Relaxation. Perfection.
