The St. Regis

The St. Regis

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The St. Regis for afternoon tea. The afternoon tea session began with a sweet and savory selection. The savory selection included a handcrafted tea sandwich assortment. The sweet selection was composed of a seasonal pastry assortment. In addition to the sweet and savory selection there were freshly baked strawberry vanilla and pistachio orange flavored scones. The tea served was a black tea called the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. This tea had a amber color and fruity aroma. The aroma was drawn from the passion fruit and pomegranate infused into the tea. The tea also had a vanilla flavor. The flavor of the tea was light and smooth. The fruit flavor was not overpowering and the tasting ended in a clean and crisp finish.
