Silver Tips Tea Blog

Two months ago, we received an intriguing e-mail.  One of our customers explained to us that on November 4, 2014, he had his first date with his girlfriend at our 'beautiful tea room'. Now, two years later, he was ready to ask her to be his wife and would we consider allowing him to propose at our Tea Room!
