Tea at Rosemont

With pinkies out or in, you are sure to delight in the experience of our Manor House Teas. You will relax in the elegant setting of our historic manor enjoying the company of friends and loved ones with a comforting cup of tea.

Our teas are blended especially for Historic Rosemont Manor by Tea for All Reasons. Teas include our enchanting Byrd Blend black tea – a signature blend of Darjeeling, cream Earl Grey, rose petals and other natural flavors – and the refreshing Rosemont Blend green tea – a combination of Sencha, strawberry and papaya pieces, rose petals, candy pearl dragees and other natural flavors.

Our Rosemont chefs carefully plan a three-course menu, preparing sandwiches, scones and sweet treats that will complement each of the teas we serve. New recipes are crafted using seasonal fruits and vegetables. Guests may find savory sandwiches that pair well with our Byrd Blend black tea. Other menu items include delectable scones that marry with our Rosemont Blend green tea. We pair a sampling of desserts with one of several tisanes that change with the seasons. Additionally, we are able to accommodate gluten free and vegetarian diets.

Here is what our guests have to say about our Manor House Teas:

“We had a wonderful afternoon tea in this incredibly beautiful historic home. The tea room is beautiful. The tea was served in three courses with a different tea for each course. After our tea we toured the bed-and-breakfast rooms, which are beautifully decorated. We enjoyed a fun, relaxing afternoon in a beautiful setting. We will definitely return!”

“Absolutely wonderful! I can’t wait to share this place with friends and family.”

“Delicious! We really enjoyed every course and all the lovely teas. Thank you for accommodating my gluten-free friend.”

No two Manor Teas are the exact same, giving guests a unique experience with every visit. Our tea gift certificates are available for purchase as gifts for family and friends.

Christmas Teas this year will be held between November 22nd and January 12th. Other themed teas occur at different times in the year so be sure to check the tea schedule below periodically for new and exciting tea options!

Our Christmas tea dates sell out very quickly so we recommend that you call as soon as you find a date that we have released that works for you. Upon check in there will be a welcome and a warm flute of tea infused hot mulled cider. There will be no talks on the history of Rosemont during our Public Christmas Teas. The manor will be a winter wonderland and professionally decorated for Christmas. If you are unable to join us for one of our public teas we will also be holding a Christmas Open House on Sunday, December 8th from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. All proceeds collected from the open house will go to local charities.

Please call our office Monday through Friday between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm at 540.955.2834 to make your reservation! Email requests for reservations will not be accepted. Advance reservations only by phone required. Teas must be booked no later than four days prior to the desired date. Please keep in mind that weekend tea dates fill quickly. Waiting lists are available for teas marked as closed. Vouchers and gift certificates won during a tea, and other advertised discounts, are not applicable to Christmas and specialty teas. When making your reservation, please let us know of any food allergies or dietary restrictions for members of your group. We can accommodate gluten free and vegetarian diets only. As many of our items contain dairy we are not able to accommodate dairy free diets.

As much as we love your little ones, we are not able to accommodate children under 5 years of age at our teas. For children over 5, we are happy to offer hot chocolate (if tea doesn’t suit their fancy)! If possible, let us know when you make your reservation.
