Pinkies up, ladies. Head to Bosie Tea Parlor for some sweet sophistication with a modern twist. Relish the modern decor while you enjoy gourmet teas prepared by tea master Kiley Holliday; or indulge in wine, beer, coffee, and mouthwatering treats…
Your schedule is steeped in brunches, lunches, and afterwork drinks. But tea parties? You ditched those along with your imaginary friends.
At Bosie Tea Parlor, the age-old tradition is served with a sleek, grown-up spin. And that starts with the decor: There’s nary a doily in sight. Instead, you’ll toast among modern lines, dark wood accents, and enough seating to accommodate your crew of real, live pals. Behind the bar, tea masters steep more than 80 l’Âge de Thé loose-leaf teas, and pour wine, beer, and La Colombe coffee . Mouthwatering pastries are prepared by renowned chef Damien Herrgott (named one of the country’s top ten pastry chef’s by Desserts Magazine).
Enjoy a seasonal tea tasting and food pairing led by tea master Kiley Holliday. Held on Wednesday nights, the intimate gatherings give you a comprehensive knowledge of five teas (history, health benefits, chemistry), and include a tasting of foods that pair well with each. If you’d rather stay in (or surprise that special someone), take home a Valentine’s Day-themed basket filled with exotic teas, Boisie’s famous macarons, and French sable cookies.
All good reasons for a party.
