You Don’t Have to go Far for a Cup of Proper Tea
Did you know there are places all over South Carolina where you can get a cup of “proper†tea? Do you know what a cup of proper tea is?
My mother, being the Welsh lady that she is, taught me early about this. Tea is not – just a cup of tea – but a whole dining experience.
Several weeks ago we were talking about having and going to tea. Doing a little research, I came up with a list of places in SC that provide British and Victorian tea experiences.
Over the next eight months I will driving a small group of ladies to each of these places so they can experience the definition of “tea†at it’s best. Meanwhile, I thought you might enjoy knowing where you, too, can have this unique dining experience.
