Valentine Tea Time

 A double date for Valentine's Day tea was fun and something

my "live-in gardener" and I haven't done for many years.

 Off to Medley's for afternoon tea.
It's a fairly new tea cafe here in Portland's Multnomah Village.

 Cauliflower Beet Soup was served as part of the tea platter.

I choose a small pot of Darjeeling tea.

 The Platter was designated as their full afternoon tea for two.
Quiche, Sandwiches were Salmon Dill, Egg Salad, and Cucumber

Scone with mock cream and strawberry jam

Crepe filled with jam

Raspberry cupcake, Sugar cookie, brownie, Poppyseed and Blueberry tea bread,

and coconut macaroon with chocolate icing

The platter was for two people and then you order your tea separately

so each item, except the savories was cut in half.
A very different way of serving tea, but it seemed to work.

 You pick your teacup to use from a shelf.

Something to remember:

Don't leave your box of goodies on the table when you leave!

When I returned about 10 minutes later they had been tossed.

The tea shop was gracious to fill another box with 3 items to enjoy later,

though I really wanted that cupcake.   Sniff!
It was a fun, casual place to enjoy good friends and tea time too.
