Time for Tea - Coworth Park, Ascot

Hello there,

Welcome back to Tea With Me and Friends. Today we have another lovely guest post for you as we are joined by my fellow Farnham WI Vice President Lydia, as she enjoyed a recent afternoon tea at Coworth Park.

Coworth Park is part of the Dorchester Group, it's a luxury country house hotel and spa set in beautiful parkland in Ascot. Afternoon tea is served in the beautiful setting of the Drawing Room, and on Saturday and Sundays from 2.30pm guests can enjoy afternoon tea accompanied by live music from either the pianist or harpist.


The afternoon tea menu is seasonal and currently includes

Lydia told me how great this afternoon tea is, the service was great and there is a brilliant tea selection too. As well as traditional and herbal teas, there is also a great selection of seasonal teas:

THE AUTUMN TEA SELECTION

SWEET ALMOND TEA
 China black tea delicately infused with sweet almond.
Soft, mellow and soothing

MANDARIN AND ORANGE SPICE
The headiness of orange blossom infused with China black tea and hint of
cinnamon and cloves, culminating in a truly fragrant and revitalising tea

COCONUT
Classic Ceylon black tea combined with coconut creates perfectly sweet
and rich tea, with nutty flavor

THE CITRUS SENSATION
With a combination of cranberry, orange and rooibos,
this citrus blend mixes fruit sensations with a subtle floral bouquet,
to provide a truly fragrant tea

APPLE ORCHARD
A soft, round tea with fresh apple flavor, warm and calming blend

SUGAR PLUM
Green tea infused with plum and cinnamon

LADY GREY IN WAITING
Take on the Earl Grey tea, fragrant, bright and light black tea infused with
Bergamot oil and delicious citrus peel

I think the sugar plum tea sounds wonderful!
