Sweetheart Afternoon Tea at the Urban Tea Merchant

February 6th, 2011 admin

I indulged in their Sweetheart Afternoon Tea last week with a little pre-Valentine’s day tasting pleasure.

To begin I was served a Tea cocktail that was made with champagne infused tea along with a strawberry tea sorbet that was so refreshing for the palate. Then the 3 tiered tray arrive for me and my friend to share that was filled with all sorts of goodies.

We ate our way thru the delicious sandwiches on the bottom tier upwards to the scones with jelly and Devonshire crème on the middle layer to top layer filled with sweet goodness from Thomas Haas sparkle cookies to heart shaped champagne filled chocolates.

Love is in the air and what better way to experience it than a Sweetheart Afternoon Tea with your ‘special’ someone.  Be it your husband, boyfriend, son or daughter, mother or grandmother, father or grandfather indulge in this sensory experience through The Urban Tea Merchant’s Sweetheart Afternoon Tea.  The Sweetheart Afternoon Tea is all part of the Love Story of Tea at The Urban Tea Merchant throughout the month of February. But does it have to end there?

To share the love, they are giving a special tea gift to every person who has their Sweetheart Afternoon Tea in their Salon de Thé.

Make your reservations soon as space is limited and they really want you to be their Valentine!
