their delicious soups, chicken salad, and sandwiches,
not to mention the special teas. Kim, the owner is active in running

Comments: This is a quaint but delightful teahouse in

The service was outstanding and the menu choices, although limited, were reasonably priced and quickly
prepared onsite. Our party tried 2 different teas and we
were graciously given information on several other teas
that might suit our palate. Great place to go for a light
lunch choice or for great desserts (the chocolate and
coconut cakes were unbelievably good).

Park
75 at Four Seasons Hotel, Atlanta, GA
Visited: April, 2001
Comments: I had tea for the second time
at the Four Seasons Hotel in Atlanta, and a second
pleasant experience. I know that many Teamailers
have said that sometimes they get frustrated with
the tea taking a back seat to the savories and
sweets. I am delighted to report that this is not
the case at the Four Seasons.
The nice gentleman who took care of us
enthusiastically described his training with John
Harney, who came in person to instruct the staff
on the correct preparation and serving of Harney's
teas. I had Harney's Formosa Oolong, which was
excellent. Perhaps my only small wish would be to
have a second pot to decant the remaining tea
after pouring the first cup so as not to
over-steep, but this is only a minor concern
because the pots are really only sized for about
two servings, so it's likely the drinker will pour
it all before it becomes bitter.
The meal, $19 apiece (at the time of this writing,
4/22/01), was ample. I thought it was a very
reasonable price for what was served, particularly
compared with the Ritz-Carlton's price for tea. I
have yet to make it there for tea, unfortunately,
so can't make any sort of judgment, but I have
heard it's roughly $60 apiece, and it has been
booked for weeks every time I've tried to go (and
I'm not one to leave things of this sort until the
last minute).
The chocolate chip scones were served with lemon
curd and what was supposedly clotted cream. The
latter -- I remember the first occasion, it *was*
clotted cream, but I think this time due to dairy
import restrictions it was a whipped substitute of
some sort. Not their fault, and still nice. The
scones were a touch crumbly for my taste ... not
dry, just crumbly. That's a personal preference,
however.
The second tier contained sandwiches: egg salad on
wheat with a bit of cress and a sliver of avocado
on top, I think; a smoked salmon roulade topped
with caviar; a crab sandwich of some sort, and, my
favorite, beautiful little ham sandwiches with
melted brie and a bit of mustard, all edged with
transparently-thin slices of red grape. I could
have eaten several of those. :)
The third tier was filled with sweets: a small
fruit tart, two different kinds of chocolates (one
was toffee, but it may vary); two cookies, one
chocolate, one almond (I think); a slice of banana
bread, and a few other things, I think. Several
options, as you can see, and quite worth $19, I
thought.
The staff was warm and professional, especially
the gentleman of French descent who chatted with
us about the Harney's training. (I think French,
but might've been French Canadian. Absolutely
delightful, either way.)
They also have champagne and sherry if you're not
quite in the mood for tea. Overall, a very
positive experience.

for holiday afternoon tea with the ladies. We were
sitting under the stairs on couches. It was
freezing, we had to wear our coats the whole time.
They brought out mini heaters which blew the
circuit and cut out the lights. It was awful. Our
tea was ice cold in no time. Do not recommend.

The
Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Buckhead, GA
Visited:
March, 2008. Meal: ? Type of tea: Loose leaf. Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Excellent. Food: Poor. Service: Poor. Appearance:
Good.
Comments: The tea was usually hot, when finally
served. The food was assembly-line fare and reasonably
fresh - I didn't fear food poisoning. The only redeeming
feature of the tea was the scones. During previous teas,
the room appeared to be reserved for tea attendees.
During this visit, however, the room was apparently open
to anyone who wandered in off the street. One rather
boisterous group appeared to be business folk, yet
another group seemed not quite sure what we were doing
drinking tea in their bar. I know it seems impossible, but a barefoot - yes, you read that correctly,
barefoot - man casually walked through the room into an
adjoining one and sat down with a newspaper. Needless
to say, we will not repeat this experience.
Would you go back? Sorry, no.

Comments: If
anyone has been discouraged from visiting this tea
room due to Tea Maven's review from 2002, please
give this wonderful hotel another chance. My
husband and I had a thoroughly delightful
experience with afternoon tea here. First, the
room is gorgeous ... there is no mistaking this
hotel's location as being in "The
South." The room has a garden-room feel to
it, with beautifully upholstered chairs in a
floral design, delicate colors of soft white,
green, pink, and lavender, and large windows
overlooking a beautifully landscaped area. My
husband favorably compared this experience to that
of The Empress Hotel in British Columbia. He felt
quite comfortable, which is not an everyday
occurrence for him in tea rooms. Often they are
patronized mostly by women. But here was a
wonderful mix of both men and women, as well as
business and leisure visitors. A most convivial
and dynamic atmosphere ... nothing musty or fussy.
The table was beautifully set with Wedgwood china
in an Oriental crane motif, in keeping with the
general atmosphere of the room. Gorgeous
sandwiches and pastries were served on a silver
three-tiered plate holder. And the scones and tea
bread were absolutely delicious. We appreciated
the unusual variety of sandwiches ... smoked
salmon, hummus, dilled shrimp, and
tomato-mozzarella. Several selections of Mighty
Leaf tea were offered, and service was impeccable.
All in all, a premier experience.

Comments: Our
Red Hat Society group of twelve visited this

decided that this is one place we want to visit at

food was suburb, and the tea was served promptly.
The server was very attentive when it came to
filling our cups. The scones were the best we had
tasted, the desserts were to die for. The savories
were very fresh and delicious. Would highly
recommend this for high [sic] tea. We sat
in the back overlooking Lenox Mall. The only
complaint I had was I wish they had told us that
valet parking was included; we didn't know this.
If you park in the paid parking lot behind the
hotel (which is not the Ritz's, and you will pay a
high price -- $1.50 for 20 minutes). Other than
that a very enjoyable experience.

Comments: We
were a large group and were placed on sofas and

tea was served on the coffee table and was very
crowded. It was so crowded they did not leave the
teapots with us, and they would only allow four
pots for the eight of us. I didn't get to drink
the kind I really would have liked to try. I would
not recommend for large parties. For smaller
parties they seat you at a regular table and have
a pot for each individual from what I could see.
The food was good but not at all excellent.

Comments: With great trepidation, my
sister and I (originally from London, England) set
out one Saturday morning from Atlanta, Georgia to
sample afternoon tea at Julianna's teashop in
Cuthbert. After three hours we arrived at the
teashop and found to our dismay that you needed
RESERVATIONS! Nowhere on this website or on the
teashop's telephone answering message does it
state that you need reservations (we called before
we left and only got the answering service). [Note:
TeaGuide
clearly states: The
only certainty in life is change. We recommend that you call ahead to
confirm the details listed in TeaGuide,
especially if you are traveling a distance. - Editor]
We enquired about the possibility of getting
reservations for later that afternoon and were
told that would not be possible. You can imagine
our disappointment. On a positive note the retail
shop is very nice and quaint and we picked up an
adorable doll's tea set for my four-year old
daughter.

Comments: We had a "Mystery Tea" for my niece's

been to in the Atlanta area. It is in a georgeous 1900's

the entertainment was the best part! We laughed a lot

Comments: i was not a tea drinker, until one December
day last year. I had been standing in line four hours
trying to buy the latest video game for my son at
christmas. I walked in chilled as the exprestion go to
the bone. All I knew from tea is it came in a little bag,
one type. When I walked in I was at first alittle lost with
over 140 types of tea I didnot know what to do or say.
The sales help behind the counter, took there time with
me and really helped this one time nontea drinked to a
new world of teas and all the health benfits. I now try to
get in to the shop at least 4 to 5 times a week and I now
have a large collection of teas in my own kitchen.

Comments: I have to been to many places for afternoon

great (you HAVE to visit the powder room while you are
there!), the service was great, and the food was delicious. There were two of us and
they give you a choice of three separate teas all in their own pots. The
sandwiches were very good. They really make the experience something special. I highly
recommend making the drive. Plenty else to do in the area as well
so make a day of it!

was the perfect ending to a wonderful day. The
tea, food, and service were all top notch, and
browsing the store for treasures to bring home was
fun too! FDR might have changed his favorite
picnic spot if the Rose Cottage has been there
years ago! I would definitely put this on your
"must do" list if you are in the area.
The town is charming and one could easily spend
several hours before tea looking around. Be sure
to call ahead and make a reservation ... and you
won't go away hungry!

Comments: What a jewel of a tea room the
lovely resort town of Pine Mountain now has. Newly
opened, as of September 2003, this tea room is
located in the charming, historic downtown area of
tiny Pine Mountain, Georgia. Though a small
southern town, Pine Mountain draws a lot of
tourist trade due to its nearby vicinity to
Callaway Gardens and the F.D.R. Little White House
national historic site. The Rose Cottage tea room
adds a new level of graciousness to this charming
resort area.
On the day that I visited Rose Cottage, I simply
stumbled across their tea room by its inviting
sign and pretty lace curtains at the front
windows. Inside, I discovered a charmingly
decorated interior of several separate rooms ...
including a gift shop decorated in antique
furniture brought over from England. Since it was
eleven o'clock, I came in just for a cup of tea.
There were two to three selections from four
categories of tea: black, green, flavored black,
and herbal tisanes. The tea came loose in a
beautiful china teapot. When I asked for a tea
cosy, one was promptly provided. As I sat enjoying
this delicious cup of tea in their beautifully
decorated front room, I mentioned to my server how
sorry I was to not have known of their existence,
so that I could have made advance reservations for
the full afternoon tea their menu described. After
a short visit to the kitchen, and without my even
having made the request, my server advised me that
they would be able to prepare the full afternoon
tea for me if I desired. Of course, I did desire
it, and it was wonderful. The four sandwiches were
delicious on soft, flavorful breads. The fillings
were chicken curry, egg salad, and prosciutto with
mozzarella, and basil pesto spread. They offered a
selection of scones: apricot, rosemary, and
ginger. And the pastries were four miniature
muffins and two tartlets with lemon curd and
strawberries. Everything was flavorful, and the
only feature keeping my food rating from
"good" to "excellent" was a
bit of dryness to their pastries. Yet I must take
into account the short-nature Served they had
for my visit.
All in all, this was a delightful experience. The
service was quite solicitous, tea selections
varied, well prepared, and of high quality (Harney
& Sons), and the food quite good. I spent a
wonderful three hours there writing Christmas
cards, and was made to feel quite welcome during
my entire stay. It also gave me the opportunity to
observe the well-attended nature of this new tea
room. Although most patrons come for lunch, which
is served from 11am to 2pm, it is not difficult to
arrange for the full English tea service. And even
if one just came in for lunch, the menu selections
of gourmet sandwiches, soups, salads, scones, and
killer-looking desserts, would make for a
delightful repast. All in all, a wonderful
experience.

Tea Room, Savannah, GA
Visited:
August, 2007. Meal: Lunch. Type of tea: Loose leaf teas. Served: In
a teapot.
Tea: Fair. Food: Good. Service: Average.
Appearance: Average.
Comments: First off, this tea room is run by art school
students, so you may have to alter your expectations.
I went for lunch because, from all outward appearences, I
did not think I was going to get the relaxed environment
I like for afternoon tea. I ordered one pot of tea which
was brought to the table with the bag hanging out of the
teapot with instructions to "let it steep for a few
minutes" (white tea). I also had a tuna salad sandwich
that was tasty. I opted to skip dessert as nothing in the
display cases grabbed me. The server was a nice guy,
but not a tea guy. The room was large and carried noise
well if you are the sort who likes to listen to other
people's conversations. Bottom line, if you are a tea
snob, you are likely to be unimpressed. If you just want
to hang out and have some tea and a snack, you could
do a lot worse. If you fancy yourself anti-establishment
and like to be trendy, this is the tea room for you.
Would you go back? Maybe.
