My spouse and I were in town for the Shakespeare Festival in September. I had researched Stratford…read moreTea Leaves online and chose it as a destination based on the proprietors's tea knowledge and tea selection. We arranged a tea tasting, which should be booked in advanced. Minimum of two people required for a tasting. Karen Hartwick, the proprietor and tea sommelier, arranged a great hour long mini course on six different teas. She explained the teas, just the right amount of background, and hints during the tasting. She let us lead with our impressions during the tasting, and then provided her input. It was such a great way to really enjoy the depths and nuances of the range of teas. We came to find out that Ms. Hartwick is called upon by many of the local food establishments to educate staff and provide input on tea pairings. We purchased tea from her which is reasonably priced for the quality. She has many tea accessories for purchase as well. Well worth the visit for everyone from a casual tea drinker to those with a more refined knowledge of tea.

Karen is filled with an amazing amount of knowledge and has many life lessons and experiences to share with her guests. The B&B also has a tea shop in it. The tea shop is just remarkable. Karen knows her tea, that's for sure. She's traveled throughout Asia multiple times visiting tea farms including some that have been in families for over 5,000 years. Karen is a leading expert on tea, and boy will you be amazed by her amount of knowledge. I live in California -where tea is becoming more "hip" every day- even I was surprised and amazed by her tea shop. Enough about Karen and the tea, the B&B is delightful. The rooms are nice, not the nicest I've stayed at, but are very good considering the house was built in the 1800s. The B&B has charm to it and is very well decorated and very clean. The breakfast part of the B&B makes up for everything the bed part slightly lacks. The breakfast is just amazing. Be it the home made granola and cake for starters, or the main entrees such as the beautifully cooked eggs with delicious whole grain bagels and the uniquely original quiche like dish, you will NOT be disappointed. The food is full of flavor, and with every bite has the taste of healthy. Of course, breakfast would not be complete without tea. Good luck on picking your tea, you have over 150 options and about that amount of different tea pots. Without any hesitation, I sincerely suggest staying here and enjoying some tea.

They have an afternoon tea set, which was highly recommended online and was the reason we stopped by. We got their high tea set. The aged cheddar pimento spread and curried chicken salad was my favourite dishes. The scones were moist and tasty along with the clotted cream. The sweets were my least favourite as it felt a bit generic and less exciting. Overall, most food was good and tea was pretty good. As there are many other tea house on the west side of GTA, I will unlikely return to this one. But it is definitely nice to try. I would recommend the Garden tea set as the sweets were my least favourite part of the experience.

And the clotted cream and jam supplied by Devon cream company is delicious. I am not a jam fan but the vanilla berry jam is So good! They have a little under 300 varieties of tea and you can actually choose your tea after smelling it from the glass container too. It was such an experience! I ended up purchasing a few small tea packets to bring home as well so ended up trying four varieties of tea.

Hot water was added to our teas, and otherwise we were left to talk amongst ourselves. They served clotted cream, and a choice of jam with their scones. Had a mixed berry jam which was a good amount of tart and sweetness. Scones were excellent, one of the best I've had so far; which admittedly is not a lot. The sandwiches were okay, filling good, but bread a bit stale. The sweets were a small selection of 4 desserts and berries on the side. There was a lot of food for the 'White House Tea' set, well worth the money and the experience. Nice to try, but a bit far to come back again. Will definitely recommend to someone in the area!

The actual shop is in a little plaza and was easy enough to find with Google maps. The high tea for two was exactly what was pictured online. Choice between raisins or not for scones, what preserves and if you wanted butter or whipped cream. We also each got our own pot of tea which was nice. About 1.5 sandwiches worth and then a scone and a while bunch of tiny squares and a few mini sausage rolls and a shredded cheese wrap. All in all a good filling meal. Not great if you have any allergies because of fish, nuts, coconuts etc in food.

FOOD: We had come here on a Tuesday afternoon at around…read more12:00 pm for lunch. When we had first sat down, we were told that all guests that were booked for that day were to receive the same type of lunch, which was the Informal Social Tea (Light), which came out to $19.95 per person. We were first given a plate of fruit, which included cut-up pears, cherries, and watermelon pieces. We did find the fruit to be very fresh, and enjoyed the presentation of it, which was nicely-situated on the small dish that was given to us. Next, we were given a dish of six scones, which we thought was quite generous as there were only two of us; a side dish included the devonshire cream and jam for the scones. We noticed that the scones were a bit hard, which tasted like they may have been left in the oven a bit too long as they were dark on the bottom. The taste of them was good though, they tasted fresh and appetizing, with sprinkled icing sugar on the top to sweeten the taste. Afterwards, we were given our tea, which was an oolong flavour, tasting absolutely divine! We loved how fresh the tea was, and how wonderful it went with our meal, such a great flavour. Along with the tea, we were given a small plate of strawberries for my little one that was with us, which we thought was such a nice thought from Judy (the owner). We also received a small dish of vegetables (cauliflower, pickles, carrots and peppers), which were based in a type of vinaigrette dressing. We weren't too keen on this option as we found it to be high on the vinegar-side, but appreciated the effort. The sandwiches were next, and were very appetizing to look at once they reached our table. We had three different types; one was egg salad on a yellow bread that was rolled into pinwheels, another was smoked-beef on toasted rye, and the last was a type of cold-cut with mustard on a rolled-up flatbread. In all honesty, all of the sandwiches were really well-done, with a lot of flavour in each of them. However, the best were the egg salad, which were perfectly rolled, with just the right amount of spice in them, and the smoked-beef on rye, which was grilled to perfection, and piping-hot (temperature-wise). We enjoyed the smoked-beef so much that we asked for more, and was willing to pay for them, but Judy gave them to us for free! Lastly, we received the plate of sweets, which included chocolate cupcakes, marzipan slices, cheesecake squares, ginger slices, and an almond cookie. Judy mentioned how each of these desserts were homemade, and it showed; they each tasted impeccable, boasting a savoury taste that stayed in our mouths long after we left. She was a wonderful baker, and we appreciated the efforts in her desserts! ATMOSPHERE: This tea room was situated on a quiet street in Paris, with ornate looking columns at the front of the home, and a historical feel that boasted a home from the Victorian-Era. We loved the little gate at the front of the home which welcomed us to the entrance, along with the picturesque landscaping in the front. The home itself was absolutely beautiful, with two large rooms at the front for diners, and a sunroom at the back overlooking the water, which is where we were situated. We loved the décor of the home, which had older pictures on the wall, and also the tables and chairs, which were cozy yet traditional. This truly felt like a home that was built in the Victorian-Era, which made us feel that we were dining at that time. It was also peaceful and quiet, which was what we were looking for when we attended. As we were seated near the kitchen, we did hear some extra noise from there however, not too much, only from time-to-time. SERVICE: We were served by Judy, who is the owner of the home and the tea room. She was wearing a beautiful costume reminiscent of the 1850s, which was a long skirt, long-sleeved blouse, and a wonderful brooch at the nape of her neck. We loved how her outfit made us feel even more like we were in the time-period mentioned. Judy was very attentive during our visit, even giving my son some toys to play with in-order to keep him occupied during our lunch. She came over to refill our teapots when needed, and even made us extra sandwiches without charging us. We loved how friendly she was, and would surely want to see her again. COST: Informal Social Tea (Light): $19.95/Each = $39.90 WOULD YOU RETURN? Without a doubt! We really enjoyed our time here, and felt that Judy pulled all of the stops to make sure we had a lunch we would never forget!

Teas vary in price but generally are about $2 for 10 grams which probably makes a couple cups, $7 for 50 grams, $13.50 for 100 grams, and $33 for $250 grams (Canadian dollars). They have medium sized bags made up of most teas and they also have $2 smaller bags made up. You can also have any tea measured and bagged up for you.
