I had a Valentine's Day treat this past weekend — tea at the Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill! It's become quite the affair since I last had afternoon tea there...there was a special room and a dedicated tea hostess who waxed poetic about the tea my date chose (a coconut oolong which really was spectacular.) My tea, a mixture of green and black recreated from some 18th-century blend, failed to thrill her.The treats were wonderful! We each got two cucumber sandwiches (the best I've ever had!), a roasted bell pepper sandwich, smoked salmon biscuits, raspberry gems (amazing! high-falutin' gum drops!), chocolate tartlets, shortbread cookies, chocolate-covered strawberries, and (of course) currant scones. It was super awesome.
