Rooted in Communitea

Legend has it that the tradition of afternoon tea began with Anne, Duchess of Bedford. She began requesting light sandwiches be brought to her room in the late afternoon, having grown weary of the long stretch between lunch and dinner and the "sinking feeling" it left her with.

What started as a personal remedy soon blossomed into something much larger: an atmosphere of grace and elegance, an institution of relaxation, a graceful ritual for entertaining friends and business associates alike. As more hostesses adopted the custom, afternoon tea became a place to see and be seen — and, of course, to catch up on the latest gossip.

Our elegant tea room offers you all of that tradition, paired with an exquisite array of fine teas and pastries. Afternoon tea at Enchanted Tea Lounge is the epitome of Southern hospitality.
