My name is Chris Dodge and I live right here in the great state of Tennessee. My family and I are full adventurers filled with passion to see the amazing things our state has to offer. We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.
There is a little tradition in British culture that we don’t tend to follow much here in the States, but we might want to start rethinking why we don’t. Afternoon tea is a time to take a break, sip some tea, and spend some time relaxing with friends and family. It’s a mid-day reset to recharge and refuel both stomach and soul. Luckily, there are lovely places in Tennessee like Tea Time in Trenton that keep the tradition alive. Get inspired with a cup of tea and biscuit and take your tastebuds on a trip across the pond!
Open daily from 1-5 p.m., you can have yourself a spot of tea at Tea Time: A British Touch. Tea Time is located in a charming house that's the perfect cozy setting for a tea room.
Inside this Tennessee tea house you will see little touches of English life from the phone booth to the ceramic statue of the Queen. The room is decorated seasonally to reflect to set the mood. The tea and treats also vary by season, making for an authentic and immersive tea time experience.
A spread will be laid out in front of you for small groups or larger gatherings. Tea Time is the perfect place to have an intimate time with one other person across the table or a tea party with a larger group!
Your tastebuds can travel across the pond without ever having to hop on a plane. There is a standard selection of options every day, but to really get into the spirit of the season, make sure to partake in some of the seasonal flavors offered only at special times during the year.
Pair your tea with a few bite-sized nibbles to continue the experience.
They provide biscuits (or "cookies" in the U.S.) shortbread with jam, scones, and other pastry items and cakes that fit ever so nicely with what's in your cup.
Most everything on the menu is available for purchase, so if you take a liking to something in particular, be sure to purchase it to go! The tea parties do not need to stop just because you leave; take a taste of England with you and enjoy a spot of tea whenever you would like.
Tea Time in Trenton, Tennessee, gives an authentic English experience with excellent afternoon tea. Keep the tradition alive and remember to bring your friends and family because afternoon tea is always best shared with loved ones. So keep those pinkies up and sip the sweet and authentic taste from across the pond. For more information please visit the Tea Time: A British Touch website.
