Cream Tea
Gentle readers, I just finished my meeting with Susan of Teaberry's, the lovely tearoom that caters our Cream Tea. I always really enjoy meeting with Susan, she's so knowledgable and easy to work with. Her tearoom is lovely, and I enjoy having tea there frequently. Last year, we weren't sure how many people have taken formal tea. We came to realize that many people were accustomed to it and many more were happy to learn. This year, Susan and I designed a menu to accomodate both experienced formal tea participants and new tea participants as well. Cream Tea for SalonCon 2007Alexander Restaurant (in the hotel)

Choices of Tea include: English Breakfast (black tea) (caffeine) - brisk, perfect for morning or afternoon Smoky Russian Caravan (black tea) (caffeine) - exotic mixture of four Chinese black teas and Lapsang Souchong which imparts a certain smokiness Silver Jubilee (white tea) (low caffeine) - Mu Tan with chamomile, almond, vanilla and cardamom - unique and delicious Rooibus Provence (rooibus) (caffeine free)- Rooibus with lavender, rose petals, dried black currants, dried red currants, dried blueberries and rose hips - a delicate delight We have sold a good amount of tickets for tea already. I remind you, you are by no means guarenteed a ticket at the door. I strongly encourage you to buy your tickets in advance!
Clottingly yours, Deborah
