Fuschia Tea Emporium, 113 Church St., Charleston, SC
Even though I brought work home to make up for it, it felt deliciously wicked to skip out of work to join a few fellow bloggers to try out the new tea room on Church St. Since we have our very own official Tea Blogger and Tea Tour Operator right here in the Lowcountry, it seemed like the right thing to do.
Running late, I parked at home and walking down in a rush met my friend Estelle on King St. and kidnapped her as well before we joined Uniquely Tea, Kittens on the Keyboard and the Pat half of Pat and Kathie.
Scones, mushroom and leak tarts, balsamic chicken with provolone, spinach and sundried tomatoes, crab with roasted golden corn and asparagus, boursin spread with vegetables over cheddar crisps......and I haven't even mentioned the desserts. Yum.
We had such a fun time and Mary Margaret McLernon was the perfect hostess. Thanks Ladies! Let's make it an annual event.
I'm sorry that I couldn't make it. I hope you got the message I left.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a treat. Maggs
ReplyDeleteAnd the company was even better than the food and tea! I had a great time! You all are so NICE!
ReplyDeleteShirley - It was! Shortbread for dessert. :)
ReplyDeletePJ - You should!
Maggsworld - It was a real afternoon treat. Felt downright sneaky doing it in the middle of the afternoon on a week day.
Denise - Likewise! It was too fun. Nice to get to know the famous Tea Blogger.
Great shot! I love pics of cups, not sure why.
ReplyDeletebecomingtea: we decided Canadians were more likely to have nice teacups.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun afternoon treat! I'm definitely in for the annual event.
ReplyDeleteYou could be a food photographer, Joan. Your pics look good enough to eat - almost as good as the real thing!
I have these dishes and I'm Canadian!! Does that mean if I ever get to Charleston you'll take me for tea? I'll bring my own cup if I have to.
ReplyDeleteAntjas - That is too funny! Maybe I will take you to tea :). I have tea cups that my mum was given as gifts many years ago. I drink mine from a large mug though.
