Oh, thank you! Jean had a peacock feather brooch to match her fascinator, which we loved.

We’ve enjoyed our Prince House visits – they know how to make a great pot of tea.

I was very early in my tea loving hobby, and it was a wonderful experience. If I recall correctly, we ordered some type of oolong. I want to say Tie Guan Yin. Followed by a black tea I can’t recall. We had some tasty snacks and deserts as well. Now I want to go back!

]]> Comment on 7 American Tea Companies You’ll Love by Annalynne https://destinationtea.com/7-american-tea-companies-youll-love/#comment-2022029 Fri, 21 Aug 2026 20:18:59 +0000 https://destinationtea.com/?p=1027163#comment-2022029 The BEST tea company is Magic Hour Tea. Their teas are all incredibly delicous and the flavors are interesting and unique. They also have a huge variety and they have a rewards program too. The teas are sort of expensive but since you can steep some of them 8 or 9 times easy since the quality is that good, they end up being very affordable actually.

]]> Comment on August Giveaway: Two Tickets to Huntsville Tea Festival on Aug. 15th by Katrina https://destinationtea.com/august-giveaway/#comment-2021997 Wed, 05 Aug 2026 14:02:35 +0000 https://destinationtea.com/?p=1031315#comment-2021997 I have tried to give them chance after chance, but they don't understand what goes on a sandwich or savory tray, and what goes on a scone tray. One time they served a tiny bowl of fruit soup on what's supposed to be the sandwich tray, and another time they served a little dish of pasta on the sandwich tray. They served me a pancake with hummus on top on what was supposed to be the scone tray. 😳 In addition, the food is often dry and you can find some reviews that say that. Please don't go there! I've had afternoon tea at The Ritz in London, the Empress Hotel in Victoria, and over 20 other venues in North America during the last 15 years. Most the reviews you will read are positive, but that's because people around here absolutely do not understand what it's supposed to be served at afternoon tea. The place is run by the same lady who owns a local dinner spot, and I think she believes that an afternoon tea tray can just have small portions of any sort of food that suits your fancy. Seriously, it's not worth your time!]]> That sounds wonderful! Just want to give you a heads up that in case you’re planning on trying other tea rooms while you’re in Huntsville, beware!! The only other realty room in the area which is called the Lanier Tea house is run by people who have no earthly clue what is supposed to be served on a tea tray. 😳 I have tried to give them chance after chance, but they don’t understand what goes on a sandwich or savory tray, and what goes on a scone tray.
