Steve and I were on our way to New Hope to enjoy one of our
favorite places- the Inn at Bowman’s Hill. So on the way there, we stopped in
Chalfont for our favorite beverage- tea!
The Talking Teacup is the cutest teashop I
have ever been in. When we arrived, we walked under a flowering arbor to the
entryway, full of tea ware and tea gifts, tea and books, and then into the
dining room. A quiet unassuming place where we knew we could relax. In the
dining room, we were seated in a cozy nook next to the fireplace. The décor is beautiful
and homey, and felt quite relaxing. The Talking Teacup is housed in a 250
year-old farmhouse and has a country ambiance.
Our server was a total sweetie, explaining all the teas and
munchies and brought everything out with speed and efficiency especially after
I asked for more Devonshire cream!
Stephen and I each had giant chocolate chip scones with some
finger sandwiches of chicken salad, egg
salad, herbs and cucumber and a Waldorf spread. We also enjoyed a hearty teacup
of soup.
To drink, I had a robust English
breakfast blend, while he enjoyed a fine oolong and I enjoyed a gunpowder green
tea. The Harney and Sons assortment of The Talking Teacup teas is impressive,
so try as many as you can! They are also available for purchase, as well as available
seasonal blends.
The best part about our afternoon as speaking with Kathy,
the owner of The Talking Teacup. A brilliant and charming woman, she knows
business and knows her tea. More than that- she knows her customers. A smile
and good food for everyone is truly a treat. Kathy told us about the history of
the building and how she came to run this glorious little tea gem in Bucks
County.
Kathy, along
with her business partner Roberta Adam, renovated the house and property, and
opened their business, The Talking Teacup, Ltd in the 250+ year old Farm House
on November 1st, 2003. They turned this stately old farmhouse to a
full service tea room and gift shop and are intent on serving up relaxation,
smiles and delicious cups of tea!
The Talking Teacup Tea Room and Gift Shoppe is located at
301 West Butler Ave., Chalfont PA 18914 (Old Rt 202). They accept reservations
for private parties, meeting, events, parties, showers. Check website for full
times and reservations.
Special Thanks to Kathy at The Talking Teacup and Jessica
