Bridal Shower Tea Party, Iced Tea Bar

 

 A bridal shower iced tea bar.  
I served 3 iced teas and one hot tea (mint)


This is the little red barn, it is such a great venue. It seats 200 and comes with the table and chairs.
To rent for a Sunday afternoon it is around $350ish, but for a Saturday it is more like $6000...(you would need to call for exact figures)

I had an herbal iced hibiscus tea, my purple palmer done as a green iced tea and black peach iced tea.  Then the mother of the bride asked for one hot tea.  I did a black mint tea.




Man, this is a dream venue!  I would love to have something like this, even half the size, no upstairs.  But, to have teas and teas classes in a nice, open facility would be lovely.


They had a wonderful selection of food too.



Soups, pinwheels, chicken salad croissants, and egg salad sandwiches. 




I snagged a little snack too.  They had great food.



Let me know if you would like me to come and do a hot or cold or even a mix of both for your next event.  


The groom to be had tea pots around the room from his grandma.  I thought that was the sweetest thing.

Jatiluwih Red Rice Tea, Bali Indonesia

 

While I was in Indonesia I was able to visit a rice terrace....thanks to visiting the tea plantation.  On the way to the tea plantation we had to pay to enter this region.  

As part of the payment we were able to visit the rice terraces.  They were beautiful!

I said I wanted to try this tea and my friend bought it for me.  I admit I did not read the label, I just saw Red Rice Tea!  I thought it would be rice mixed with tea, but it was just red rice.


I steeped it. I thought it smelled like popcorn.  It was okay, it was like starch water.  I chuckled as I drank it...thinking they got another tourist, hahahahahhaa.



I enjoyed viewing the rice, it was so picturesque. 


It appeared a storm was rolling in, but it never rained while we there.


They had market vendors along the side of the road....and as a tourist I love that.  Being able to snag something from the town if I want too.  Plus, you get to see the locals.

I found it interesting that this village is now one of the traditional villages that is showcased as a tourist attraction and is overseen by the government. 


These are the largest rice terraces in Bali.  It is 700 meters above sea level.  It is just under 131,000 acres.










The flowers were beautiful...

Teazzi Tea Shop- Apple Green Tea, Bali Indonesia


It is so hot here I am always looking for tea to drink!
Even after I just came from afternoon tea!!

I literally was just outside for 5 minutes and you can see the sweat under my eyes starting to roll.  It was so hot....hahahaha.

They had some fun options, but since I had just had the great apple tea in Taiwan, I wanted to try another apple tea.

I went for the Apple Green Tea.


This was a nice green tea with apple flavor.  Nothing overly special, but it was fine.  It was a green tea with apple notes.  It was slightly sweet.  It was refreshing. There was a definite language barrier here when I was ordering and asking questions, but that is on me, not him.


This tea shop was in a nice shopping area.  There were a fair amount of shops around, but I was too hot to really explore much.


Instead of the 20 minute walk back to the hotel, I paid the $2.00 for a Grab, hahahaha.

Movenpick Afternoon Tea, Bali Indonesia

Before the conference started, I had a day or two to adjust to the time change and prepare the kids room and buy any supplies needed.  
I also took a few hours off to have an afternoon tea!


Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali 

tea was served in the Anarasa Restaurant.

I thought it would be as advertised on line- "

Enjoy our afternoon tea with a tempting sweets buffet and free flow of tea and coffee options with tropical garden views on the veranda of the Katha lobby lounge."  But, the restaurant was very nice too.


I did some research before I left the states.  I booked my afternoon tea based off-
1. walking distance from my hotel (20 minute walk)
2. cost (this was $13.88)
3. tea and food served

The heat was a lot and I ended up taking a "Grab" (like an uber) to and from...it only cost $2.12, lol.
Next time I may go a little further for something a little more traditional Indonesian and not plan on walking....


I was very surprised there were two plates of sweets....I would have rather had two plates of spring rolls and dumplings, lol.

I also had a pot of Dilmah jasmine tea.


I had spring roll, and a "purse"- often called a dumpling or money bag


Dilmah Jasmine Tea.  It was very good...I drank the entire pot.


I am not sure what all was on my plate, but I did enjoy it!

Matcha tart, scone, raspberry macaron, a mango tart, and some sort of chocolate cake.


I made a faux pas and I cut the scone the wrong direction!

And I can't ever decide if the clotted cream goes on first or the jelly- so I put them side by side.


Such a reasonable price for all I received! 


I would give this afternoon tea a 5 out of 5 teacups!  The staff was very friendly and helpful.  The food was very good.  Everything was clean and pretty.  The tea was nice too.  The best was the price!
I would do this again...but maybe ask for more savory or the sweets.



I enjoyed all the different restroom symbols while in Indonesia.  


How fun are these lounge seats???
