Spilling The Tea on Our Premiere Tea Event

Dearest Readers,

As the season changes and the air turns crisp, the Olive Branch Tearoom opened its doors to a splendid afternoon of tea tasting, inviting us to indulge in the delightful world of Monista Tea Company.

 Nestled in a serene setting filled with the gentle whispers of floral arrangements, our gathering was one of warmth and camaraderie—where every sip unfolded a story.

We began our journey with the enchanting French Earl Grey Tea. This fragrant brew, kissed by the uplifting notes of bergamot, awakened our senses like the first light of dawn. Each cup was a tribute to the idyllic landscapes of France, where moments of beauty inspire creativity, reminiscent of a scene from a beloved painting.

Paired with cucumber sandwiches and a luscious blend of turkey, brie, and cranberry, this tea complemented the richness of flavors, creating a delightful union that set our taste buds alight.

Next, we savored the robust Amsterdam Breakfast Tea—a hearty infusion sourced from the lush fields of Assam, India. This full-bodied blend offered a comforting embrace, perfectly enhancing our turkey and chicken salad with its malty finish.

Each sip was a warm invitation to indulge further in the savory offerings that adorned our table.

As we transitioned from savory to sweet, we were greeted by the delicate Melba’s Oranges & Berries Tea. With its light, fruity essence reflecting the charm of an Australian orchard, this tea paired beautifully with scones, allowing the flavors of apricot to sing in harmony while the bergamot lent its delightful touch.

We paused to cleanse our palates with the smooth Oriental Green Tea, whose gentle notes offered a refreshing respite. This tea encouraged us to breathe, reflect, and appreciate the delightful array of flavors, enhancing our tea journey with its serenity.

The grand finale arrived with the Sicilian Citrus Tea—an invigorating celebration of lemon and orange aromas that danced on our tongues, igniting our senses with each sip.

To craft a soothing conclusion, we enjoyed the Persian Mint Tea, a harmonious blend of organic peppermint and spearmint, finished with the delicate essence of rose—a cooling embrace that left us refreshed and invigorated.

The enchanting ambiance of the Olive Branch Tearoom was filled with the light strains of music that lifted our spirits, while a charming tea talk unraveled the history of this cherished beverage.

We tasted the essence of time-honored customs, exploring the delightful differences between high tea and afternoon tea, as laughter and conversation flowed as freely as the tea itself.

As we parted ways, hearts warmed by the experience, we were left with a lingering desire to venture deeper into the expansive world of Monista's offerings—be it the zesty Lemongrass & Ginger or the serene Chamomile of the Nile. Each selection invites us to discover a new moment, a new taste, a new connection.

So, dear friends, should you find yourself yearning for an experience that blends indulgence and connection, I encourage you to visit the Olive Branch Tearoom.

Here, amidst the warmth of shared stories and exquisite teas, you will discover a sanctuary where every moment can bloom anew.

With warmest regards,
Your devoted chronicler at the Olive Branch
