“Tea tempers the spirits and harmonizes the mind, dispels lassitude and relieves fatigue, awakens thought and prevents drowsiness, lightens or refreshes the body, and clears the perceptive faculties”
Lu Yu – an Eight Century Chinese Poet
Rosemary Hill is home to the yummiest, authentic tea parties you will find in Pretoria. All their delicious treats are made from scratch by their professional pastry chef and you will have a true 'Tea' experience.
At many venues the focus is more on the food than the tea, but at Rosemary Hill this is definitely not the case with
their tea selection of 4 black teas (Spicy Chai Black, Earl Grey, Hot Cinnamon, Ceylon), 3 green teas (Japanese Cherry, Pear, Mango) and 8 herbal teas (Hibiscus, Sweet Peach Green Rooibos, Ginger Chilli Chocolate Rooibos, Mint Chocolate Rooibos, Sweet Cinnamon Rooibos, Bourbon Vanilla Rooibos, Strawberry Burst Rooibos, Spicy Chai Rooibos). As I am a great advocate for supporting local SA business I love that most of the ingredients are sourced locally and the range is about 80% organic.
It has been said that tea is wealth itself, because there is nothing that cannot be lost, no problem that will not disappear, no burden that will not float away, between the first sip and the last.
When you book your high tea at Rosemary Hill, the following is included:
Venue hire of semi-private area of your choice {they have 6 lovely venues to choose from),
tables elegantly laid with white damask tablecloths and napkins, beautiful floral designer crockery, cutlery and rose bowls, hostess and serving staff for your special event, old hats provided for fun, your choice of overlays or runners.
