Tea with the Queen

I’m a huge fan of tea time.  Which is why when I was in Dublin I tried to fit in as many tea experiences as I possibly could.  The first place we stopped was a little tea house called Queen of Hearts. It was so cute and tiny and right in the heart of Dublin.

While in Dublin and Belfast I rediscovered my deep love of scones, specifically fruit scones.  Which we indulged in while at Queen of Hearts.

The clotted cream in Ireland is so rich and flavorful that naturally I felt the need to use heaps of it on everything.  The tea was excellent, Earl Grey being one of my favorites, this blend was particularly full bodied and the flavor was not dampened by the cream.

I would definitely recommend popping in to the Queen of Hearts if you find yourself in Dublin, it’s worth it!

Vintage Tea in Dublin

I’m such a fan of tea. Also of high tea. And double decker buses.  So Vintage Tea Tours was an absolute dream!  It’s fairly new, so I’m so glad that my mum stumbled across it when she was exploring Dublin!  As soon as you walk down the cobblestone street it feels as though you’re on your way to experience a cross between the Knight Bus of Harry Potter and a Tea Party with the mad hatter and Alice. Once seated on the second level we were greeted with a tray of treats and an offering of tea flavors.  I chose the rosé champagne tea which was light and fruity.  The array of edible offerings ranged from a sour green apple cupcake to cucumber and cream cheese finger sandwiches.  Then we were off and touring around Dublin viewing all the best that it has to offer from Phoenix Park to the Spire in the heart of the city, passing Trinity College and Temple Bar along the way!  All in all the experience was truly a delight.  Our host was knowledgable, friendly, and attentive, the bus was well restored and well appointed for a tea tour, and the food was fun and whimsical.
