A gentleman came into the Tea Room today dressed in a suit, ready to go to work. This was 12 noon. He ordered half a Tarry Chicken Sandwich and a pot of Silver Tips Earl Grey. He opened his laptop and was deep into it. He then ordered a pot of Ti Kwan Yin Oolong. Today being Chinese New Year, we were featuring Oolongs so that was fitting. After a while, having finished his Oolong, he ordered Ten Treasures - a house favorite, Green with Cherry and Passionfruit. By this time, a fair amount of time has passed. He suddenly announces to our staff - You know what, I'm not going to work today! He then proceeded to order another pot of tea - this time Coconut Vanilla. He thoroughly enjoyed it and left at 3 pm. Just magnificent!
As I can't consume caffeine anymore, and I have been sad to not be able to drink my Silver Tips regular Earl Grey, I was so excited to find that they also have a decaffeinated Earl Grey! It is lovely and I am now able to enjoy my cup of tea again.
I currently enjoy six teas from Silver Tips. A gang of us in White Plains visited the tea room twice a week. Since there were four of us we ordered four different teas; each of us taking a half cup of each blend. My present choices come from those visits. I miss the shop and all the memories we made there.
We miss all of you too! And what a lovely review - those were grand days - thanks for the memories.
