Tea at the St. James Tearoom has been on my wish list
for a long time.
When I first got into tea I heard of the St. James
in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Each group has their own little room to enjoy
and share the tea time experience together.
I wasn't sure we would have time to stop for tea
when traveling recently, but when a tea friend
called and wanted to join us for tea
I just couldn't pass up this opportunity
to share tea and friendship.
Tea was served and we were treated as queens and kings.
What a treat!
Now if I could only remember everything on my plate.
On the skewer was a variation of Coronation Chicken.
The shrimp salad was soooo good,
as was everything else.
Oh I do love good savories and sandwiches at tea time!
Of course there were scones with real cream and lemon curd.
Delicious!
Though I tried, I just couldn't eat all of my sweets,
but the cake with the pansy was delicious (flower and all).
The powder sugar delight was filled with coconut.
Before saying farewell, there was one more picture under
the tearoom arch.
When traveling I love searching out new tea experiences
and sharing it with friends made it especially extra special!

It's so nice you could meet up with Mary Jane. Your tea room experience looks like a delight. I'm so glad you could go.
OOh! I would really enjoy that tearoom!
Such a lovely experience! So glad you were able to enjoy this tea room, and with a friend (Hi, MaryJane!). Everything looked perfect!
Oh, it looks to die for. I think of the spots you've shown so far, this is my favorite!
Did you get to Jacqueline's shop?
Delicious savouries are my favourite part of tea, too. St. James looks like a wonderful place to visit with friends.
Very elegant tea set!Great time!Hugs,Maristella.
Marilyn, I do that, too -- any time I travel, my highest priority is searching out the best places to have afternoon tea! Like you, I don't get around to the desserts; but I enjoy looking at them. Love this post!
I'm so glad you were able to have tea in such a sweet place. I love the way you spy out places for tea when you travel.

What a delightful tearoom! It's always fun to explore tea shops and tearooms while travelling.
Yum! Something about this tearoom seems familiar, and for some reason this was in my memory bank as a wonderful tea room that should be on a must-visit list for any trip to Albuquerque.
That was definitely a special teatime - you all look like you were having a wonderful time.
Great photos Marilyn.
