A Refined Afternoon Tea Experience: An In-depth Look at Our Signature Afternoon Tea
At Saddle & Spoke, we believe that afternoon tea isn’t just a meal – it’s a tradition, a celebration of craftsmanship, and above all, a testament to the art of taking it slow. Our signature afternoon tea reflects this philosophy to the tee (or should we say tea?). A carefully curated selection of fragrant brews forms the backbone of our afternoon tea. Whether you’re a fan of the classic Earl Grey or prefer to venture into the exotic territories of Jasmine or Darjeeling, we’ve got you covered.
Next come the delicate finger sandwiches, meticulously crafted and layered with the freshest of ingredients. Cucumber with cream cheese smoked salmon with dill and lemon, or our personal favorite – the classic egg and cress; each bite offers a symphony of textures and flavors that complement the teas perfectly.
And of course, what’s an afternoon tea without pastries? Our selection is a cornucopia of sweet delights – fluffy scones served with clotted cream and strawberry jam, delicate macarons in a palette of colors, and the piece de resistance, our melt-in-your-mouth pastries. Each confection is a work of art, almost too pretty to eat (but too delicious not to).
At Saddle & Spoke, each element of our afternoon tea has been carefully crafted to ensure that your time with us is more than just a culinary delight. It’s a sojourn into a world of refined pleasures, a journey that we hope will leave you with the warm, fuzzy afterglow of a time well spent. After all, isn’t that what afternoon tea is all about?
