It's My Birthday! I Celebrated It With Friends and Family at Adorabelle Tea Room In Steveston BC, Canada

So today is my birthday. Last weekend my sister Stephanie surprised me with a surprise birthday tea party at the Adorabelle Tea Room and Gift Shop in Steveston BC. The tea room was once the 1925 Court House for the Village of Steveston. The tiny tea room is located about an hour from where I live and is one of the smallest tea rooms I have ever been in.
The menu was set for our party of 12 and this tea room can only seat 20 and has a strict 1 hour and 15 min turn over policy to accommodate those hoping to get in to experience for themselves this cozy little tea room.
The sandwich layer had a lovely Waldorf Chicken Salad, The perfect egg sandwich and a salmon sandwich which my mother in law loved (I don't eat fish do to a shell fish allergy) Also on the bottom tray a savory muffin with bacon and chive cream and a cheddar and herb cracker that was made in house. The scones were delightful and the desert tray was enjoyable. The item that stood out most on the dessert layer was the Earl Grey Shortbread that was simply perfect.
I had their Adorabelle Paris Tea which is a black tea with Currant, Bergamont and Caramel and I have had two pots of this tea every day since. I purchased three bags of 80grms of their tea for $25 while in their gift shop and see myself driving out there to purchase more shortly. I have to say this is in my top 5 favorite black teas ever.
The tables were all painted a creamy white color and they matched the felt tea cozies that adorned everyone's pretty pink personal teapots.
In their gift shop they have a lovely wall with mounted teacups and saucers, it was very stunning. The shop offered bags of their house tea selections, mugs, handmade tea items and soaps.
The tea room and shop is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11-5 pm. To find out more or to book yourself in for tea please visit their website by clicking here.
 Once home from the tea party I actually made a pot of the Paris tea and set myself a pretty table setting featuring some of the lovely gifts my wonderful friends and family gave me.
