Where to Enjoy the Best Afternoon Tea Around D.C.
"Taking afternoon tea in the Willard Hotel’s Peacock Alley is a D.C. tradition that dates back to the 1920s. Surrounded in elegant sounds of a harp, tea time in the renovated alley dressed in blue includes estate and boutique loose-leaf teas by the J’enwey Tea Company, savory finger sandwiches, decadent pastries, and Willard’s famous freshly baked vanilla scones and tarts from in-house French pastry chef Sabri Uzun. Tea with a glass of champagne is $105 per adult (or $90 without) or $65 for kids 12 and under. Available Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Make a reservation. A tea-to-go program on weekends ($65) pairs well with its instrumental Spotify playlist." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
