"Les détails font la perfection et la perfection
n'est pas un détail."
~ Michelangelo Buonarroti
The ritual of tea is a veritable feast for the senses. From the
feel of a smooth, yet weighty linen napkin to the steaming warmth that emanates
to your hands from a impeccably crafted china cup. From the intoxicating
fragrance of your favorite amber-coloured elixir and the taste of a flaky,
buttery, exquisitely made scone with dreamy Devonshire cream and perfectly
preserved strawberry jam to the ambiance that makes you feel cocooned and safe,
yet somewhere truly special where every detail has been meticulously planned
from the lighting, to the decor, and the comfort of your chair. It is this
focused attention to details that makes the tea experience so pleasurably
perfect.
Our love of tea and the beauty that it brings to our lives is
what has inspired us (Sarah Carr-Locke and Robyn Martin) to create this
blog. We would like to share our experiences with you and give you tools
to increase the sensual nature of your next tea. Whether you are a long term
tea lover or neophyte ready to spread your wings, we hope that you will enjoy
our journey and feel inspired to try some different venues. We are honoured to present you with a definitive guide to this ritual in
Vancouver and beyond by sharing our reviews of tea establishments, thus inspiring
you to incorporate these pleasures into your life too. Come with us and
live fully and passionately in a sensual feast!
