A group of ladies that I worked with on the play "Pride & Prejudice" decided to get together & have tea at the Smith Byrdhouse Tea Room here in Prattville. This is the adorable little tea room we did the Jane Austen Tea at in March. When I was Jane Austen, I didn't get a chance to eat or drink anything because I was speaking & talking to guests the whole time, so I was excited to come back & actually get to enjoy the food.
I ordered the princess tea (I felt like a princess too) which came with 4 finger sandwiches, 3 desserts, 2 scones with clotted cream & lemon curd, fruit, plus a bottomless pot of tea.
Their food was to die for. Each of the 4 sandwiches was different & SO delicious. They had a peach scone & a vanilla scone, both of which were amazing. And the desserts!!!! YUM. Homemade Cream brûlée, strawberry cobbler, & red velvet cake.
I'm not really a tea drinker. Being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we don't drink tea unless it's herbal or fruit tea so I haven't really had any luck with herbal or fruit tea that I actually like. These guys made me a believer. I had 3 different teas & all three were amazing. My first was a peach apricot fruit tea & it was my favorite of the bunch. Once you add a little cream & sugar, it was like a warm peach drink. The second was a fruity tea with mango, pineapple, apples, & berries & it tasted like fruit punch. And the 3rd was an herbal carmel toffee tea which was SO rich & yummy.
There's nothing in the world like good friends & good food. This was definitely an afternoon to remember. It was AMAZING.
