Come to Tea!
|
The Barstow House 1888 isn't just about a bed and breakfast stay. Bring your friends to an afternoon tea. Relax and unwind as you enjoy a four-course experience accompanied by some of the finest loose-leaf teas available. You'll begin your visit with a seasonal soup or fresh fruit plate, followed by a variety of savories that include finger sandwiches and crostini. Next, taste a warm homemade scone with Devonshire cream and strawberry jam. Finish with a crème brûleé or pot de crème au chocolate, or perhaps chocolate almond meringues or chocolate dipped coconut macaroons. |

You'll choose teas from a wide variety of black, green, white, and oolong teas: all full-leaf loose teas from The Republic of Tea, Golden Moon, and Adagio Teas, and Kunglaloosh. Choose a favorite or try something new (Coconut Pouchong? Ginger Peach? White Peony?) We also carry several herbal varieties. Our tea menu is subject to change due to availability, but we're sure you'll find something you'll enjoy.

We serve groups of adults and children 12 and older by reservation only (groups as small as 2 or as many as 12 ). Call us at 315-822-5162 or use our reservation form on this website to make a reservation or to find out more. Plan to take your time and relax. We promise you a quiet atmosphere and our individual attention. The cost is $20 per person plus tax and gratuity at your discretion. You'll experience a four-course tea and take home a parting gift. For groups of six or more, there is a 15% service fee.* (We are currently sending our guests home with sample teas from Kungaloosh. Their exceptional teas from around the world also represent an environmentally-conscious company.)

*Please understand that we are not a restaurant, so we need a few days notice to do our best for you. You can call well in advance of your preferred date, or you can call a few days before. Have a few alternate dates in mind just in case. Choose from Wednesday to Sunday. There may be days we are unable to serve, so contacting us well in advance is the best idea. Please understand that if you reserve for a particular number of people, that is the number for which we have prepared. Let your friends know that the full charge will include the original number of your reservation unless we are given 24-hour notice.) |
