I find there is something seductive about little tea sandwiches. Dainty and elegant, crustless, and often with improbable fillings, they seem rather out of place here in the rugged Last Frontier. Perhaps that’s why they are so attractive to me — they speak to a sense of refinement, providing a brief bit of respite from the chaos of everyday life.
Is it even possible to feel harried while nibbling a triangle of cucumber, dill, and crème fraiche on soft white bread, sipping tea with two lumps and a spot of lemon? I think not.
An escape for a spot of high tea used to require a flight to Seattle or Vancouver, but times have changed. Indigo Tea Lounge in Anchorage now provides a bit of respite for bustling downtown shoppers and anyone else who wants to experience a bit of refined tea culture.
This week Indigo Tea Lounge is featuring a romantic tea service that will be perfect for a bit of afternoon delight. Fresh baked scones (with Devonshire cream, I hope), assorted sweets, lovely tea sandwiches, and pots of tea will combine to sooth your spirit. Drop by and relax.
