While looking up tea shops in the state, I came across A Southern Cup Fine Teas in Hendersonville.  After doing some research, I knew it was a place to visit. 
The tea options offered are:  Cream Tea, and two Afternoon Tea services (Sugar Bakers, and Miss Camelia's Afternoon Indulgence). So, via Facebook, I made reservations for two Sugar Bakers.  
It was raining on the day sister and I drove over for this delightful experience, which made it hit the spot even more upon arrival.
A Southern Cup is located in an old feed store, that we missed finding when coming into town, because it is so small!

| From her extensive tea menu, I chose a blend called In the Garden with the Earl.

| Miniature scones served with butter, lemon curd, and jam 
 | 
|  | 
| Chicken salad, cucumber, and the best egg sandwich I have ever had. 
 | 
|  | 
| I saved a portion of my egg sandwich for after dessert, so my meal would end on a splendid, savory note.

Everything was excellent and worth every hour it took to get there.  I definitely recommend giving this place a try!
