Joyful Teasday~

One of the Tea rooms




This Teasday, I wanted to show you that every inch of the Ivy Leaf Tea Parlor is a wonderfully beautiful place. It has a special quality to it that you need to see to really appreciate. I think it is Crestview's hidden diamond and my job is to expose it. When people walk through those doors, they are warmed by the atmosphere of beautifully displayed antiques, china, and tea accessories with the smell of freshly baked goods in the air. Relaxing music is always playing. The house itself with it's original wooden floors and unique character just add to the special place that it is as a tea parlor. Even the hallway with it's lit grapevine drapped with grapes and ivy welcome you and add to the overall experience. Even if you can't make it to the Ivy Leaf in person due to distance, you can still enjoy the wonderful teas by mail. Visit our etsy shop for a list of available teas. Please email a request if you do not see the tea you would like.

Our Teasday trivia winner from last week is Gabrielle!! Congrats! I'll be sending you Strawberry Sensation. I'm sure you will love it. It's wonderful hot or cold. The correct answer was (B) on your seat.

The trivia for next week is:
