NEW! Light Bites: Tea, Snacks &
Dessert For us, it's
all about the tea! Consequently, we have
discontinured luncheons and Afternoon Tea on a regular basis,
but may offer the full tea from time to time on special
occasions. Please call the shop for info on special events, or
give us your e-mail for the latest shop news via our
newsletter. We are now offering "Light Bites": Tea, a
variety of Snacks and Scrumptious Desserts. Most
popular are our made-from-scratch scones. We also have a
variety of specialty drinks including our exclusive chocolattea
blends and lavender lemonade (featured in Midwest Living
magazine along with our WinterBerry Cream Tea). You can
purchase culinary grade lavender at our Wild Orchid
Teas web site, and we'll be sure to include
the recipe for lavender lemonade. We have over
30 exceptional teas on our regular menu, but because we
prepare each tea fresh whether hot or iced, you can actually have a
pot of any one of our 130+ teas in stock! Our snacks
include cookies, brownies, blueberry muffins with lemon
curd, an apple and cheddar cheese plate, and more.
There's no need to make reservations, however, we do appreciate them
for groups over 4 people.
Bridal/Baby
Showers We have
the perfect atmosphere for your bridal or baby shower, if your group
isn't too large. The Tea Room can seat up to 20 and is a
perfect place for relaxing the day before the
wedding. Call Elaine to make custom arrangements for
your event.
Tea Talks The owner, Elaine Terman, has gained extensive
knowledge about tea, its history, production and harvest, tea leaf
grading, types of tea, tea etiquette and superstitions, and the
health benefits of tea. She is happy to speak to your
group at your location, or give tea talks in the Tea Room
for groups that come in for tea and food service. Talks
can be arranged for anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour or
more. Call for details and associated
fees.
Children's Birthday
Tea Parties Elaine's is also the perfect place for children's tea
parties. We are happy to work with your individual needs
whether it's for a birthday party, or just a special tea time
with mom or grandma. We have two special children's
caffeine-free teas: Tutti Fruitty and Teddy Bear Tea
(spearmint flavored). We suggest dresses, hats, gloves,
and good manners, of course! A lavender lemonade is also
available at your request. We have hats and gloves for
children to wear during their special tea parties. Elaine is
also happy to talk to children's groups or Brownie groups on proper
table manners.
Tea Tastings We hold a series of tea tastings at the
shop throughout the year. Check out
our latest newsletter to find dates and times for any upcoming
tastings and other events. If you'd like to receive our e-mail
newsletter, please send us your address and you'll get the latest
shop news. Elaine has also done tastings off site for special
events and groups. We now also do special small
group (2 to 20) private tea tastings in the shop at your
request. Call for details and fees associated with special
tastings and tea talks.
