Tea for Three

Teatime at the Willard Intercontinental. What better way to celebrate a birthday than by taking the day off and playing tea party? Unlike the five-year old version, this outing involved bone china and silver. We were seated on couches in a plush hallway and had a lovely time picking our teas, thoughtfully brought to our table in test tubes. Our first course featured edible chocolate cups which did well with the spring berries. And then to the tiers. Sandwiches, scones, and pastries. Clearly the favorite was the lemon curd, which disappeared in quick spoonfuls with the ginger scones. And Devonshire cream, well, that disappeared quickly too.
