This poem by Aubrey Henslow is a very apt description of what A Quiet Tea Spot is all about. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
I invite you magnanimously
To please be my guest for tea
At a room with high standards of taste
Where the hostess remembers my face
And greets me by name at the door
And recalls what Ive ordered before
And inquires kindly after my day,
And appreciates all that I say.
Shell have orange pekoe for the pot
And darjeeling, as likely as not,
Or if you are not in the pink
Our hostess knows which herbs to drink,
Like ginger to help with the grippe
Mixed with cinnamon and the rose hip;
Or fresh lemon balm if you wish,
Perhaps blended with sweet licorice.
So whether you feel well or ill,
This refreshment will quite fit the bill
And, of course, you will quite enjoy me.
Yours truly. RSVP -Aubrey Henslow
