Ah, Oxfordshire – a haven for tea lovers like myself where the tradition of afternoon tea is celebrated with the utmost elegance and refinement. Nestled in the heart of the English countryside, this region offers a delightful range of afternoon tea experiences that cater to both the classicist and the adventurous spirit. One of the most notable places is the esteemed Old Parsonage Hotel in Oxford, which serves an exquisite afternoon tea in an intimate and cosy setting. Complete with fresh scones, clotted cream, and preserves, complemented by sandwiches filled with quintessential favourites like cucumber and smoked salmon, this venue provides a tea experience that is nothing short of luxurious. Their extensive tea menu makes selecting the perfect brew an indulgence in itself. Oxfordshire's combination of scenic beauty and historical charm creates the perfect backdrop for traditional afternoon teas that transport one to a different era. Another gem worth mentioning is Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in Great Milton, a short jaunt from the city of Oxford. This renowned venue, under the watchful eye of Raymond Blanc, crafts an afternoon tea that marries the best of French culinary precision and English tradition. The manor's splendidly manicured gardens provide the ideal location for a leisurely tea, where guests can relish delicately prepared patisserie and inventive finger sandwiches. The juxtaposition of rustic country elegance with such refined offerings is simply divine. Whether you seek pure tradition or you fancy a modern twist on this beloved pastime, Oxfordshire has much in store for the discerning tea enthusiast.
