Taste Tea Salon

The third tea room I'm sharing is another tea room we visited while in Williamsburg, VA. The Taste Tea Salon was featured in Tea Time magazine, Winter/Holiday 2004. It is everything, and more than stated in the article! We enjoyed it very much!

The tea salon is located in a small mall. You enter the door and see this pretty archway above.

Lots of eye candy! They also have a gift shop! (on the right here)

Each table had different place settings. We could choose our own table!

Hmmm, shall it be pink chintz?

Or dramatic black??

Actually, we chose a table because I liked centerpiece, then when she served us, she removed the centerpiece, and it wasn't in any of the photos!! It was so cute, has little birds on it. If you click on the top picture with the arch, you may see it on the right, far corner. I also liked this table because it was in a corner away from everybody!

Now, what shall we order? (I left this photo large so you can click on it and read the details.)

First, we were served scones, lemon curd, and cream with our tea!

The little tea pots were so unusual. The handles on the top could lift the tea leaves container up out of the water! This is great so the tea doesn't get bitter! I've forgotten what my tea was, but remember Joe's was licorice flavored.

My scone. You can see the pretty plates, a touch of Spring!

Next, we were served the most delicious cream of onion soup I've ever tasted! (I don't even like onion soup!) It had toasted onion rings crumbled on top.

We each had our own tiered trays of sweets and savory. I have forgotten what everything was, I can't find the travel journal right now that I recorded everything in! I can tell you this - everything was absolutely superb!

Joe and me, we forgot to put the large centerpiece back on the table! :-( Go to the top picture of the arch and click on it. Look at the table in the back corner, on the right and see if you can see the little wrought iron "tree" that has little birds on it. (Under the black picture, not the big orange flower! Ha!)

Joe, and Diana, the proprietor of Taste Tea Salon.

The tea room at the Village Shops at Kingsmill, Williamsburg. Lots of neat shops all around! One was "White Cotton" a classy antique store that features tons of white linens, china, etc. Just beautiful!

I would love to go back!
