TEA WITH AN ACCENT

Yesterday I went out for a tea lunch with my tea and knitting friend.  We visited a new tea
shop, Tea with an Accent, in Yardley, Pennsylvania.  Tea with an Accent used to be
called The Pink Petal Tearoom.  It was sold to the current owner, a delightful British
woman named Sharon (who also knits!).  She redid the shop completely and made it her
own.  It was very elegantly decorated and extremely relaxing to dine there.  We both had
the Victorian tea, which consisted of a cheddar vegetable soup, a signature salad (red
and green leaf lettuce, pears, pecans, bleu cheese, and a viniagrette dressing -- yum!),
four tea sandwiches (smoked turkey with raspberry relish on wheat, cucumber on white
bread, olive pate on rye, and chicken salad on raisin bread,) a fresh baked, heart
shaped, orange/cranberry scone served with lemon curd, strawberry preserves, and
cream.  A pot of tea was included --I had the harvest blend that was a black tea with
apple and cinnamon added.  The meal was excellent.  The breads were fresh, the
presentation was beautiful, the service was incredible!  We shared a mini dessert plate,
which we thought was going to be small, but the owner made it up for us and it was
overflowing with fresh baked treats.  We both decided that this was the best tea shop we
have been to and are already planning to visit again later this summer.  I highly
recommend it if you are in the area.
