De'Tours in Elizabeth City
Miss Bonnie's enthusiasm for tea was evident when my group of 6 visited her for tea the first week in October. An added bonus to our delightful experience was Miss Bonnie's knowledge of her tea accroutrements. She served us using fine china hand-painted by her great-grandmother. Every tea accessory had a story and Miss Bonnie was eager to share. We were served a berry tea by Harney & Sons and Ginger Peach by Bentley. Both teas were contained in tea bags. The Ginger Peach was my favorite and normally, I don't like ginger, but 2 lumps of sugar really brought out the flavor and even softened it to make it very enjoyable for me to sip. My group was not hungry, but Miss Bonnie gave each of us a tasty sweet treat to enjoy nibbling while sipping our tea. We thoroughly enjoyed Miss Bonnie's conversation, which included her sharing with us a lot of history regarding her home and the family heirlooms. I found it very interesting and it made the tea experience more special. If I'm ever in North Carolina again, I will definitely visit De'Tours in Elizabeth City again.
