Plum Ginger Hibiscus Tea and a Chai Tea, Panera

It is Valentines Day and my nephews have a Bible quiz at a local church.  I was thrilled to be able to watch them answer questions and show what they had learned.  There is nothing better than to have God's word in your heart.

After the quiz I headed to Panera.  I love the fresh food at Panera.  I purchased the  You Pick Two- 1/2 sandwich 1/2 salad deal. It was delicious. I then also purchased the plum ginger hibiscus tea.  It is so refreshing and sugar free!!

To find a good sugar free tea at a restaurant is rare.  I love that Panera has this tea...I do wish it was not so expensive though.  I ordered it because I had a gift card and then I drank like 3 cups of it.

I also love the chai.  It is my favorite of the "fast food" chai's...even better than the lady in green chai.  It is smooth and rich and has a hit if spicy.

This tea is delicious and I love them both.  The only reason they do not get 5 tea cups is the price.

Dragonfly Tea Room, Birthday Cake black tea

 My girl friends from work took me out for my birthday.  I am now officially 50th!!  I welcome it- age is just  a number!!  

We went to the Dragonfly Tea Room in Canal Fulton.

I figured I needed to order the Birthday Cake black Tea...

A tasty blend of vanilla, cream and a touch of caramel, garnished with colorful sprinkles.

This is my favorite tea room in Ohio.  I love the food and the prices.  They do a great job!!

Everyone is friendly and helpful- the only thing that they get wrong is the service of the tea.  And it seems

that everyone gets this wrong, which is shocking since they are a tea room.  

The put the tea in the teapot - not in a tea ball or tea bag that you can pull out after it steeps.  My tea over steeps every time!!!  In the past I have asked for my tea to be in a ball or bag and they have complied, but this time she said they did not have one.  I almost went to the gift shop and bought one.

My first cup of tea was great, but after that it was no good.  Shocking for a tea room.

The food is always excellent!  And their prices are great too.

The amount of food is really nice too.  Well worth the money.

I'm telling you, this is the best tea room around...and I have checked out a lot of them.

Afternoon Tea Room Sample

Enjoy an assortment of three mini sandwiches filled with chicken salad, Tuna Salad and Southern style Pimento Cheese Salad. Served with tea bread and a choice of one of our four side salads or cup of soup

The Birthday Cake black tea was really good.  I would give it 4 tea cups out of 5 tea cups.  The flavor

notes were really nice.  There was a creamy caramel flavor that I enjoyed.  I did not really pick up on the 

vanilla notes, but that is okay...which is fine.

It was a nice cup of tea.

They also gave me some free tea for my birthday.
