This was my
second time at the Heathman. Three years ago I had taken my mother to afternoon
tea, but this was before I decided to blog every time I had a cup of tea
somewhere. What I remembered most about that visit was the delicious vanilla
tea I ordered, and thankfully after three years they still had it.
Tea at the Heathman
was a much more laid back affair than it is in other hotels. It is served in a
quiet section of their mezzanine, and we sat in deep round booths, which made
for a very private atmosphere, so unlike the bustling noise of the Peninsula in
Hong Kong or the Bulgari café in Tokyo.
Like many
traditional tea places, the finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries are served
on a three-tier platter.
This was a
wonderful way to commence my four-year stay in Portland. Now I will have to
look for afternoon tea places in Japan!
