Stratford<br />
Stratford offers several terrific ways to learn<br />
about and savour superior tea. Meet certified<br />
tea sommelier Karen Hartwick at Tea Leaves<br />
Tea Tasting Bar to experience the simplicity<br />
and intimacy of brewing, presenting, pairing<br />
and savouring tea. Tea Leaves is open<br />
Wednesday to Saturday, or by appointment.<br />
Distinctly Tea is nestled on York Street<br />
beside the river. Certified tea sommelier Dianne<br />
Krampien offers a broad selection of teas and tea<br />
brewing accessories. For the tea connoisseur, she offers sencha,<br />
tikuanyin, and many other Chinese teas of excellent grade.<br />
For over a century now, iconic hotels like the Toronto’s<br />
Royal York have honoured the ritual of afternoon tea, a<br />
remnant of India’s colonial British rule. Now, there is a<br />
renaissance and renewed interest by restaurateurs in the<br />
custom. Reserve your space at Revival House for High Tea<br />
and enjoy a special selection of Sloane tea and a custom<br />
menu of sandwiches, scones, petits fours and chocolates.<br />
Visit The Restaurant at The Bruce Hotel for its monthly<br />
afternoon tea, a relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon.<br />
Choose from twenty carefully curated teas — all of which<br />
are complements to the traditional (with a twist) nibbles.<br />
