    If you have not had the experience of taking tea at either a tea room, hotel, or private event, put it on your list of things to do. Tea is truly an experience in itself. There are so many flavors and pairings with scones, tiny finger foods, decorations, and more.

    Traditionally, it would take about 1 1/2 hours to have lunch in a tea room. They serve the meal in several courses. Sometimes they serve all the courses on a tiered cake stand with each course on a different tier.

    You may get several different types of tea sandwiches along with several different desserts, mini cakes, and then your scone, with clotted cream and lemon curd.
