The Savannah Tea Room

Before leaving Savannah we had to try one of their famous tea rooms. In fact the city has quite a few of them scattered around it's lovely squares- each offering a distinctive experience of its own. The Savannah Tea Room was a welcome respite from the afternoon sun. Upon entering we browsed around the shelves with their incredible array of tea, tea ware and little bric- a- brac. Afternoon tea service was in progress and it seemed befitting that we partake of it.

Sitting in such a soothing atmosphere,
the little sounds from tea spoons
clinking with delicate tea plates,
is a most heavenly experience
that needs to be indulged in
whenever passing by Savannah.

White Oolong tea accompanied by warm scones with softly whipped cream cheese and strawberry jam were the perfect ending to our experience of old Savannah. Sa-va-nnah.... even the name is sensual. It makes me think of

Spanish moss and
banyan trees and
old forgotten mansions
with music drifting through
silk and chiffon curtains...
and I love tea rooms,
they make me want to
fall in love,
in love
in love
over
and over again.
