Simply put, "Afternoon Tea (also known as High Tea these days)," a British tradition introduced in the 1840s by the Duchess of Bedford, Anna, was a means to bridge the gap between meals and tame hunger.
Though there are subtle differences between "High" and "Afternoon" Tea, they have evolved to be used interchangeably as restaurants have found it easy to put the two in the same category for advertising purposes.
Today, tea is enjoyed as an occasional indulgence, a way to catch up with special friends, and is used to celebrate special occasions.
Whatever the reason for tea, you can expect to delight in a lovely and cozy setting in which conversations flow easily with dainty sandwiches, premium loose leaf teas, and fine pastries to look forward to.
I am so excited to announce that we have a proper tea service here in Reno that can be found at Bouchee Confections, a craft chocolate shop created and owned by Natalie, a passionate local chocolatier/pastry chef that's trained in France and has years of experience working in restaurants.
Using quality ingredients, special training, creativity, passion, and patience, Natalie concocts multi-layered desserts and craft chocolates for the main part of her shop, specials throughout the holidays and seasons, and special pastries, finger sandwiches, and desserts for her High Tea service.
If you want to indulge and celebrate life, and you want to do it in style and class (with Bridgerton-like music playing in the background), Natalie's High Tea service is a special experience that will make any day and occasion special.
What to Expect at Bouchee's Tea Service
*Comforting and Tasty Sandwiches
(subject to change with seasons)
My service came with:
-Herbed egg salad
-Roast beef, horseradish, and arugula
-Brie, apple, and prosciutto
They were all so flavorful and delightful. I kept on taking small bites because I didn't want the magic to disappear.
*Bottomless Premium Loose Leaf Tea
One flavor per person
They have Green, Black, and Herbal Options
Coffees and Teas sourced from Glory Cloud in Carson City. They have exceptional craft products and service inside their shop (order drinks while shopping for bags of coffee and tea and learn about their process).
Their Strawberry Chocolate Pu'erh was BEYOND tasty. A taste of sophistication.
*An Assortment of Fine Pastries and Desserts
My service included a piece of divine chocolate, a delicious housemade shortbread cookie, a moist and flavorful scone, a beautiful chocolate-covered strawberry, and a gourmet housemade marshmallow.
*The Best Clotted Cream and Jams
What is Clotted Cream?
The best thing you can spread onto your made from scratch scone!
Clotted cream is a thick butter made from heavy cream that's been baked for a long time in an oven. With its long baking time comes the most flavorful type of thickened, earthy, and nutty kind of butter that has bits of explosive flavor in every bite.
My service came with lemon curd and raspberry jam. Both were so addicting and when added onto pastries with clotted cream, became an explosion of flavor.
*Attentative and Friendly Service
I have a natural tendency to ask questions about foods I enjoy and kept on bothering my kind server, April, with so many questions. She was always happy to answer them and even threw in some extra information for fun. April was also great at checking in.
*A Mix of Lovely China and Teapots
Bouchee Confection's Teapots and Plates are absolutely cute and adorable. These touches make for a fun and charming experience.
