Spring has sprung and seems to have flown by!
But before Spring leaves for the year I wanted to be sure to celebrate the warm days with an outdoor tea with friends! For the occasion I invited friends Wendy and Betty over and set the kettle on the burner!
For this tea I used my Lenox Butterfly tea set which seemed very fitting for a spring tea.
On the menu was peppered turkey tea sandwiches with honey mustard and avocado, white egg salad sandwiches with chives and lime mayonnaise, and ham and swiss tea sandwiches with kalamata olives and pickled bell peppers to start. The second course was mushroom turnovers, spanakopita with spinach, ricotta, and feta, and savory pastry bites with feta and caramelized onions. For desert we each got a mini fruit tart, a choice between raspberry cheesecake, vanilla bean cheesecake, or chocolate cheesecake, as well as a choice between pistachio macaron, key lime macaron, and raspberry macaron. For tea selections I had a green blooming tea with jasmine, as well as a decaf sweet coconut thai chai tea.
The tea and tea sandwiches I made myself. The savories I got from Trader Joe's. And the desserts I picked up from Whole Foods.

How amazing does that tea look?! Is there room for one more? x
ReplyDeleteHehe! Would love to have you over for tea Porcelina! For you, there's always room for one more! :D
DeleteOh my gosh, that looks so lovely! If you're ever in the area we're going to have to check out tea at the Ritz here - I hear it's pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteHolly! I was actually going to ask you the same thing! :) My husband and I may be coming out to NOLA the beginning of October for vacation and I was thinking how much fun that would be to meet up for tea if you were up for it! Let's do it! :D Now hopefully we just have to actually make it out there in October! ;)
DeleteAnd Holly, likewise if you're ever in the San Francisco/Bay Area :)
DeleteOh, October is a great time to visit here! The weather is gorgeous then. We should totally do it if you come out - let me know when you finalize your plans. I feel like we're kindred tea/dress spirits.
DeleteYay! I hope we will be able to do this! It sounds like great fun!!! I will definitely let you know if/when we will be out there once the date nears!!! :)
