High Tea @ Lovejoy's

Who: Three Ladies What:Trying to remain prim and proper whilst eating finger sandwiches, scones, and sipping three different pots of tea.Where:Lovejoy's in SF. Where no two plates are the same, nor the chairs, teapots, teacups, or even the spoons are for that matter. Maria treated my sister and I to an amazing experience of High Tea in the cutest shop I've ever been to. I'm so glad I had my camera with me!


We each had our own full teapots of tea. Maria had the Vanilla Herbal Tea, which was like drinking vanilla pudding, especially if you put cream and sugar in it like I did. My sister ordered the Apricot Tea, which was so fruity I thought I had taken a bite out of a piece of fruit. And last but not least, I had the traditional Earl Grey Tea, which was, hands down, the best pot of Earl Grey I've ever had! It was so glorious I'll probably go to sleep tonight thinking about it.

Our scones and finger sandwiches were equally as heavenly. The scones, light and fluffy with raisins, served with Devonshire Cream and Strawberry Jam was scrumpdillyumptious! We even dipped in and had some cream on its own! That stuff is amazing! Anyone know where you can buy the stuff? The sandwiches were an assortment which included: cucumber and cream cheese, ham and english mustard (it was sinus clearing stuff that would have made a proper lady blush), smoked salmon and capers, roast beef and horseradish, mandarin orange and cream cheese, and finally, cheddar and chutney. Not only did this experience tickle my tastebuds, it also indulged my love for antique china, furniture, and tablesettings. What a lovely Saturday afternoon! Thanks Maria!
