Backroads transport us to the places in between. This recurring feature takes you to and from two destinations via winding rural roads lined with charming small towns, captivating landscapes, historic structures and, in this particular journey, southern tea rooms and services that offer refined and delicious experiences. Enjoying more than one or two tea services per day is indulgent, but not impossible. We’ve designed this journey to span three days, but you can stretch it out to four or five if you choose. We’ve suggested some accommodations for each location and also provide the history of how tea and tea time came to America. Google map links will be included in the online version of this story. Be sure to check websites for updated information or schedule changes at each stop along the way. Let’s get started.
Note: travel times vary depending on day and time of travel.
