Tea House on Spencer
/Tea House On Spencer is turning heads with a cheeky new take on the traditional high tea.
Afternoon tea at the Tea House is a decadent affair. Start by looking over the expansive tea menu which truly has something for everyone. From Malaysian Teh Tarik to the Blue butterfly tea that turns purple when you add a slice of lemon to it.
In addition to The Spencer’s High Tea (which is the English high tea option we have all become well acquainted with), there is also an exciting option that you will struggle to find anywhere else in Melbourne – The Sultan’s Afternoon Tea. This is a beautiful Middle Eastern take on the decadent ritual which we simply fell in love with. Served in a grand Mughal inspired stand, the long list of goodness includes fluffy zaatar bread, kafta, Persian fairy floss with baklava and basbousa semolina cake. And yes, everything tastes utterly delicious.
If you prefer to stick to tradition, The Spencer’s High Tea option will not disappoint. A regal three tier golden stand graces your presence and you can expect to see all the usual suspects – cucumber sandwiches and the like. The best part is the freshly baked scones - delightfully light and buttery in flavour and perfectly accompanied by jams and double cream.
