With Chinese tea pairings. Celebrate the season of hope and renewal with a beautifully set table and a tea menu of fresh spring favorites. A classic chintz china pattern, Dubarry, from James Kent graces the table. Linen placemats in lavender and a bouquet of spring’s brightest flowers add a pretty spring look. And delightful tea pairings, featuring traditional teas of Chinese origin from Grace Tea Company, complete our Easter tea.
Scone Course
Raspberry-Mint Scones, accompanied by a pot of Dragonwell Green Premium Long Jing from Grace Tea Company, are a lovely way to get our Easter tea off to a start.
Savories Course
Brew a pot of China Keemun Spring Mao Feng from Grace Tea Company for the savories course, which includes Ham, Corn, and Chive Crustless Quiche, English Pea Salad in Phyllo Cups, and Radish-Poppyseed Tea Sandwiches.
Sweets Course
The sweets course begins with a steaming cup of China Oolong Fine Ti Kuan Yin and Vanilla-Tangerine Panna Cottas served in a collection of vintage teacups decorated with flowers. Next comes Honey-Almond Pound Cakes garnished with fresh strawberries.
Easter Mendiants, white chocolate candies chock full of pistachios, dried apricots, and crystalized ginger, make a sweet finish to our Easter tea.
