This special Afternoon Tea is a part of the 73rd Annual Herb Fair. Admission to the Herb Fair is included in your tea ticket.
Afternoon Tea was one of the English traditions Lucie Rosen, founder of Caramoor, enjoyed during her time living in England in the early 1910s. She kept up the practice of inviting friends and guests to tea for many years, using the time for conversation and for planning concerts and other social events.
Tea is served in the Music Room, a unique opportunity to relax with friends and family in a breathtaking historic setting, featuring a large portrait of Lucie herself. The service includes a variety of tea sandwiches, scones with créme fraiche and preserves, delicious desserts, and a selection of fragrant teas by Harney & Sons Fine Teas. Please scroll down to see the menus we offer!
Special guest Michael Harney, master tea buyer and blender of Harney & Sons for more than 25 years, will join us for this unique experience.
