The Museum of Fine Arts is having Tea on Tuesday
in conjunction with two exhibitions:
Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Gainsborough: The Treasures of the Kenwood House, London
and Unrivalled Splendor: The Kimiko and John Powers Collection of Japanese Art.
This is the tea for the Treasures of Kenwood House, London.
Lovely place settings and delicious teas and goodies
and a real treat to be served in the midst of one of the European galleries.
I had a choice of three teas -- all organic.
Organic Earl Grey, Organic Citrus Oolong or Organic Jubilee Rooibos.
I picked the Citrus Oolong and was not disappointed.
The goodies were all yummy:
Chicken Salad on Whole Wheat
Cucumber and Herbed Cheese on White
Blueberry Scone with Clotted Cream
Tuxedo Dipped Chocolate Covered Strawberry
Before leaving for the tour associated with Kenwood House Exhibition
a glass of sparkling wine.
A lovely afternoon.
A big thank you to our tea party hosts:

ReplyDeleteTea seems to evoke elegance, doesn't it? Such pretty china, and a lovely menu to set on it.
ReplyDeleteThe tea added a certain sense of occasion to the visit.

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun event.
ReplyDeleteI'm envious. REALLY envious. But, glad you enjoyed it.
