There are few hours in life more

agreeable than the hour dedicated to the

ceremony known as afternoon tea. 

~Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady~

At Merriman’s, we are committed to giving you the best tea experience possible. We use bone china teacups and only the best loose leaf teas .

The loose tea leaves are placed in a filter which is placed in the pot and filled with hot water. The leaves are then steeped 3 to 5 minutes.

The filter is then removed and the tea brought to your table to enjoy.

At your table, we offer white and natural rough cut sugar cubes and cream. (Which is actually just milk. Real cream is much to heavy for tea.)

Whether this is your first cup of hot tea or you’re an old pro, we hope this is your best tea experience!
