La-TEA-Da!

Afternoons! Oh, how I love them - especially when it's Tea Time at Bistro de Leon.

Located within steps from the famous Bridge of Lions on Cathedral Place -this is a restaurant that fits into its neighborhood – Bistro de Quartier. It’s a small cozy café in a cozy town.

When you get there, please order for me.....I'll be there in a jiffy. I'll have the Yummy Raspberry Napoleon and possibly you could try the luscious Strawberry Tart.

This scrumptously decadent afternoon is all because of Chef Jean-Stephane Poinard. The Bistro de Leon is featuring Tea Time from 2:30 – 5:00pm every Thursday thru Sunday.

And, that's not all! The French pastries served are exquisite and are baked by Poinard and his staff of French chefs. Along with the pastry menu and tea, guests can order artisan breads, tea, coffee, espresso, beer and wine. Now, do I have you?

Tea Time in St. Augustine is the perfect time to relax and take a break from whatever activities have been filling your day. Learn more about the Chef at Bistro de Leon at http://www.bistrodeleon.com.

Together, Jean-Stephane and Valerie Poinard invite their guests to ‘Enjoy the Bistro at Tea Time and live the moment with us”.

TEA TIME!

A friend of a friend of a friend.....that's how it all started!

Pam Seibert's friend, Paula Besselink, wanted to share with us her new found interest in all natural teas, so Pam hosted a Tea Tasting.

Paula educated us on the variety of teas and their nutritional value, as we sat in the 'parlor' nibbling on radish and cucumber finger sandwiches and sipping from a nostalgic array of tea cups.

Paula said tea is loaded with antioxidants which fight cancer and aging, and tea can aid in digestion, increase metabolism and help lower blood pressure and cholesterol. The Rooibos, Hawaiian and Herbal teas are caffeine free and all of the specialty blends contain Rooibos, which has a much higher antioxidant content than green tea! If you like your tea sweetened, our “Best of the Bees” honey is for you.

Most of us were already tea lovers and now we are convinced of the benefit along with the enjoyment. I have to admit, I have advanced from microwaving a tea bag in a cup of water to the more natural and tasty loose leaf teas seeped in the Magic Tea Maker, all available through Paula's company, LifeTea. http://www.paulaslifetea.com/.

Yet another great reason to get together with friends and new acquaintances. More information on the tea can be found on her website or email Paula at info@paulaslifetea.com.
