Tea Time with Alice

Good morning! I hope that your day is off to a wonderful start and that you have already had (or are currently making/sipping) your morning Gyokuro green tea (mine this morning is a green chia tea. In fact I am already on my second cup!). While coffee is traditionally my go to in the morning, this morning I was reminiscing on my Husband and my most recent trip to the lovely city of NYC and some of my new favorite places there. On this trip my mother introduced me to one of my new New York stapes, Alice’s Tea Cup. The larger (more touristy) location is on the Upper East Side. My mom stumbled upon the more intimate location on the Upper West Side near her apartment and instantly knew she would have to take me there!

If you love tea, this place is a MUST GO! Not only do they have the most incredible tea selection, their food was to die for- and decently healthy! Oh, and of course you cannot have tea without some type of sweet or dessert! So naturally, my Husband ordered the chocolate buttercream cake which tasted even better than it looks! I only took a couple of pictures (still working on my photography skills… and I have officially decided I need an actual camera- iPhones just don’t quite cut it) and the pictures don’t come close to doing this place justice. It’s adorable. And you might be lucky like us and be seated near families from England. It was as though we were there. My Husband even started bringing out his (country) English accent ;) It was quite entertaining. It is essential that one takes a good number of considerations before buying the best tea brand as each individuals taste and preference differs.

Cheers!
