Today is the start of our two week long Welcome Autumn theme teas at T-Party. Cynthia has been baking away and, as always, the shop smells absolutely heavenly.
Here’s what's on the menu . . .
Tea Sandwiches: English cucumber, chive egg salad, basil chicken salad, Waldorf cream cheese, and smoked turkey with cranberry mustard.
Scones: Assorted fruit scones (apple, cranberry, strawberry or blueberry) with clotted cream and strawberry preserves.
Desserts: Little lemon cupcakes, mini pumpkin cheesecakes, glazed brownie cakes, and autumn leaf butter cookies.
Each tea patron can choose from our 15 different loose teas. Actually 16, as we are offering a special “limited edition” tea for the fall called Pumpkin Spice. It's a Ceylon and Indian black tea blend flavored with nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and cloves.
Cynthia has done a wonderful job capturing the flavors of the fall season. Once again . . . it's a feast for both the eye as well as the palate.

Oh now that pumpkin spice tea sounds intriguing and delicious. I'm always so upset when I read these sorts of posts that I can't just pop in for a brew, a chat and a slice of something heavenly.
