“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.” - Henry James
I’ve always relished afternoon tea. It gives me a few moments of quiet to enjoy a pot of my favorite blend and reflect calmly on the day’s events and problems. Les Pommiers is the perfect setting for tea. Whether it’s by a roaring fire in the Great Room on a cold winter afternoon, or in the courtyard garden on a sunny summer day, it always manages to restore and recharge my soul, giving me the energy to face the new challenges of real estate just around the corner. Recently, I re-discovered all the episodes of “Downton Abbey” and watching the enticing table settings of high tea, thought it was time to take my afternoon tea to a new level. And as we all know how much I love to bake, I delved into a newly discovered cookbook AFTERNOON TEA AT HOME by Will Torrent. Filled with deliciously indulgent recipes for sandwiches, scones, cakes and other fancies, he beautifully-illustrates how the Brits make afternoon tea a special time. I’ll always remember how special my first tea was at Brown’s in London. The following listings by Private Brokerage take a beautiful room and show us just how special teatime can be. Tony Cutugno
