High Tea + Birthday Celebrations

June and I celebrated our birthdays (we're a month and a year apart in age) at the Secret Garden in Sumner! It was recommended by my girlfriend, Mari who took me to my very first High Tea experience (well Husband and I) at Queen Mary's Tea Room a few years ago. Every since I have been in love with going and trying different places. Husband and I have gone to B&O Espresso for their High Tea and have loved it but they have stopped serving High Tea. :( Boo, I hate when that happens. Husband loved it because it was a more masculine atomsphere. It was hard for him to appreciate the sprinkles in his sugar at Queen Mary's. My girls love it at Queen Mary's because they get to wear tiaras!!

Off track...okay here we go, Secret Garden. I love this book and on the way up June and I chatted about how we loved the old movie of Secret Garden. My girls have both read it and love the book as well. We have the movie too. We might have to blow the dust off and watch it...

Us after our tea. I scrambled out of the house for an early tea time and forgot my camera. June brought hers but we were chatting it up so much that we didn't really remind ourselves well enough to take pictures.

I loved the look of this place. I would go again the tea we had was so yummy. If you go, get the White Ambrosia
This fine white tea is flavored with coconut, pineapple, mango and vanilla.

I'm still craving it. It was so good. The difference between this place and others I've been to is that everything came out piping hot. The scones were steaming coming out and on our tier the savories were nice and toasty. Everything was good and it fulfilled my birthday tradition.
