A Spot for Tea


Tim and I are blessed to be able to travel to different parts of the country periodically because of our ministry. We rarely have the time to experience the places we visit to the fullest, but occasionally we do have a little time off. Tim enjoys the history of whatever city we are in but I on the other hand, enjoy visiting Tea Rooms! We visited a one-of-a-kind tea room in Oklahoma City recently.

 “A Spot for Tea” is just the right spot for someone who enjoys the whole tea experience. I knew when I walked in the door that the owner Tammy Seibert was a kindred spirit. Actually I knew before I walked in because I had read her blog prior to going.  So much effort has been put forth to create the perfect atmosphere in her 14,000 square foot facility. 


Through her years of experience Tammy has been host to: rehearsal dinners, baby and bridal showers, anniversary and holiday parties, birthday parties for all ages, graduation dinners, and receptions, bridesmaid luncheons, church and club meetings, even wedding ceremonies and receptions. As she gave us the grand tour I was amazed at the attention to detail in every room. 


Tucked away upstairs is the enchanted “Rose Cottage,” a dream place for girls of all ages.
Each guest will have fun picking out their dress and accessories. Then a picture and fashion show parade. During the tea party a special guest, Victoria Rose, will come and help each child learn about etiquette. It’s a party that the birthday girl and friends will remember forever.  


  Another upstairs oasis is the “Queen’s Room.” It’s a unique setting that is perfect for a day out with friends or a special event. Each guest gets to pick out a hat or dress up clothes for all ages. This room is sure to create a love for the art of tea while you sit and   enjoy the fine loose leaf tea and delectable cuisine. 


On the bottom floor you will find the “Red Room” and the “Green Room.” These rooms are absolutely lovely and can accommodate several guests for larger events. 


This post would not be complete without letting you know how wonderful the menu is. I enjoyed the tea of the season, “Sweet Serenitea”, it’s a black tea blend with caramel and whispers of lavender.


 Tim and I shared the wonderful  “Tea Party Sampler.”  It was served on a lovely plate and was an assortment of some of their finest delights: chicken salad on a small croissant, a smidgen of tuna salad and a sliver of guiche. It was more than enough for both of us.


Tim had a cup of the soup for the day and if I remember right it was a chicken and wild rice that he thought was wonderful!


 We also decided to share a dessert and our choice was the “Chocolate Italian Cream Cake” which was amazing!. 


 If you are ever in the Oklahoma City area be sure to stop in and visit Tammy, and tell her I sent you.  You can learn more about “ A Spot For Tea” by clicking here. Enjoy!
