Tea Time with Emma

The Rolling Tea Cart ventured to Richmond today the Petersham Nursery for their garden afternoon tea. The tea is served either in their greenhouse or garden and is decorated with flowers grown at the nursery. We enjoyed herbal and green teas, chicken salad with tarragon wraps, egg and mayo sandwiches and an assortment of other savories. The scones were served with traditional clotted cream and house made strawberry preserves. The entire spread was served on their custom tiered tray with a vase on top to display the bright, seasonal floral arrangements. Lovely!

A cup of morning tea

The Rolling Tea Cart is exploring tea rooms around the Great Lakes region of the U.S.! We visited the Cotswold Cottage in Greenfield Village located in the Henry Ford Museum (Dearborn, Michigan) last weekend and enjoyed a relaxing break from walking around the exhibits. We opted for the “Sweets Service” which included lemon scones, macarons, and other assorted pastries garnished with fresh fruit. The tea selection offered two types of tea with or without caffeine. The garden setting was charming and offered plentiful shade from umbrellas at each table. On our next visit we will have the  “Full Tea Experience” which includes a selection of tea sandwiches.

Good morning, have you had a cuppa yet?

The Rolling Tea Cart enjoyed a Malaysian tea in Alameda, California. We joined the afternoon seating at Malaya, a new tearoom that is Malay themed and the experience was lovely and unique. We were served coconut tea, curry chicken sandwiches and sweet jelly desserts. The owner makes all the food herself and every table is hand prepared.

The tea sandwiches had salmon, roe and even confit duck salad. The presentation was wonderful and perfect for spring in the city.
