Tea for Two - China Grove, NC

 


Tea for Two is a bakery in China Grove that hosts Afternoon Tea the second Saturday of each month. 

Reservations are required with seating at 11:00, 1:30 and 3:00; total cost is $27.94 (includes tea, tax, and gratuity).



I made a reservation for 1:30, and they had a table for two waiting for us. 


Cherry Blossom herbal, and a vanilla black tea were the two preselected options, but we were able to have a different one if we so chose.  We ordered one pot of the vanilla black, and one of Lady Gray. 

A pot of the preselected tea was not left on the table.  The waitress made her rounds with a new pot, refilling cups.  My Lady Gray is in the blue floral pot, which stayed on our table.

 

I think this is my first time drinking out of a square cup.


Scones were served separate from the rest of the fare

 

There were two scone choices - one sweet (candied orange, cardamom), and one savory (smoked Gouda and herb) with fig marmalade and cream cheese.   We got one of each and split them.




Prosciutto bites; cucumber and diced carrots with a creamy spread on white bread; chicken, and avocado with Green Goddess dressing on bread triangle.


Lavender cupcake with whipped frosting; ginger wedding cookie; chocolate mousse mini tart


Skewered fruit, and cheese ball on a pretzel stick
