What better way to spend some quality time
with your children, grandchildren or nieces than to treat them to
Tea Time at Elaine’s?
We are happy to work with each party to
accommodate any special menu needs you may have, and we work with
each group to create just the right menu for you. We even have hats, gloves,
boas and beads for little (and big!) girls who want to really dress
for the occasion.
While we don’t require reservations for
lunch, it’s always a good idea, as we never know how many walk-in
customers we will have.
We have a limited number of tables, and if you call ahead,
we’ll be sure to set one for you! If you have a group of 4 or
more, we do request that you always make a reservation in
advance.
Don’t forget, Chef Jenn shops local
Farmer’s Markets regularly to bring you the freshest foods, organic
when possible. And
she’s come up with even more gluten free desserts for you to enjoy.

New Class
and Event Policy
Due to some confusion in the past with collecting
payment and last minute cancellations for our shop classes and
events, it is now our policy to collect payment in advance for each
event. You will need to
purchase a TICKET for each event, and there will be no refunds, just
as when you buy a ticket for a theater event, for example. If you are unable to make an
event, you will be allowed to attend another one instead, provided
there is room. People
signing up for an event will have priority over make-up attendees.
You may also pass your
ticket on to a friend if you are unable to attend. In the event that we need to
cancel an event due to bad weather or illness of the presenter, we
will schedule a make-up date, and you may attend either the make up
or any other event of your choice. You will, in that case, have
priority over any other attendees. We regret any inconvenience,
but last minute cancellations are just not fair to our presenters
who have reserved their time for your entertainment.
Treat
Yourself to Lunch!
Healthy Eating in the
Most Relaxing Atmosphere in
town!
Our new lunch menu is off to a roaring
start! Our imaginative
chef, Jennifer is always coming up with new recipes creating great
variety in what we have for lunch offerings. We are very conscious of
making sure that everything we serve is also healthy. We use organic whenever
possible. Jen searches
out low-cal, healthy variations. OK, so some of our
delectable desserts are just plain loaded with all the goodies, but
once in awhile it’s ok to treat yourself to something dripping in
calories. But even
there, we’ve got some healthier offerings like Jen’s Fruit, Yogurt
& Granola Parfait, and our newest dessert, made from scratch
Gluten Free, Low Sugar Carrot Cake. You’ve just got to taste
this!
While we don’t require reservations for
lunch, it’s always a good idea, even if you call that same
morning. We have a
limited number of tables, and if you call ahead, we’ll be sure to
set one for you! And,
if you have a group of 4 or more, we do request that you make a
reservation in advance.
Book your next special lunch with us
soon!

HEALTH
NEWS
Well, you might want to add green
tea to your weight loss
plan. Besides a healthy
diet with exercise, green tea has been shown to support weight loss
in many ways. Green tea
contains high concentrations of catechins which work with other
chemicals in the body to intensify levels of fat oxidation and
thermogenesis. That’s
the process where heat is created in the body by burning fuels such
as fat. Drinking green
tea regularly will increase your metabolism and help burn fat safely
and naturally.
Green tea
also causes carbohydrates to be released slowly, preventing sharp
increases in blood-insulin levels. This promotes the burning of
fat.
Tea
Time Coins are Here
Elaine's
Tea Shoppe is the first tea shop in the country to introduce Tea
Time Coins. These great little ceramic coins are the ultimate
in contemporary gift giving. They come in 3 different
denominations--$5, $10, & $25, and can be given and used just
like gift certificates. The $5 gift coin makes a great
addition to one of our new sampler packs. What a great gift
for a tea loving friend or someone you'd like to introduce to the
wide world of tea.
Tea
Time Coins also come in two other varieties. One is for a free
cup (French Press Pot) of tea, which is what you will receive with a
filled Tea Drinker's Club Card. After turning in your filled
club card, you carry the coin, and redeem it for your free cup
whenever you want. The other coin is for the Wild Orchid Tea
Club. It only costs $1 to join (basically to cover the cost of
the coin should it break). You'll carry this coin until you
get 7 stamps on the back after purchasing 7 tins of Wild Orchid
Tea. Then, you can redeem the coin for a free refill of any
one of your tins (even our most premium teas!). What a fun way
to save!
Rewards
for Recycling
Recycle
your Wild Orchid Tea Tins. That is, bring them in for
refills, and we will give you $2.50 off the original
price!
The overall mission of Elaine's
Tea Shoppe is to promote health and well being for each of us, our
environment, and our planet. So besides carrying only the most
natural body care and aromatherapy product lines, and constantly
searching out more organic tea sources, serving fresh and healthy
foods (OK, OK, some of our delectables are downright sinful!), we
actively promote re-use and
recycling.
Tins
are the best way to store your tea, and our double lidded tin is the
ultimate in tea storage. Tins last a long time, and so, why
pay for a new one every time you need more tea like you have to with
Republic
of Tea
and other companies who package in tins? Now, we realize that
life is hectic these days. So, should you run by the shop and
not have your tin with you, we will still have all our teas packaged
in the refill bags. Either way you save, and
you help save the planet too!
Did
you know?
High
Tea is not really the same elegant affair as Afternoon Tea. High tea refers to the heavy
evening meal that was eaten at around 6PM
by the working class at a high dinner table. Low Tea or Afternoon Tea was
the traditional elegant afternoon affair where little sandwiches and
pastries were served at 4PM
in sitting rooms with stuffed chairs and low side
tables.

419-885-1515 to
sign up for an event, schedule a luncheon or afternoon tea, or a
private tea tasting.
Tea
Tastings—Anytime!

pastries.
