Afternoon Tea

Enjoy Afternoon Tea in Atwater’s at The Herrington Inn & Spa in Geneva, IL

“The proper enjoyment of tea can only be developed in an atmosphere of leisure, friendship and sociability; for it is only in the company of those gifted with a sense of comradeship, extremely select in the matter of forming friends and endowed with a natural love of leisurely life that the full enjoyment of tea becomes possible.” -An ancient Chinese tea drinker.

Afternoon tea in Chicago became popular in the early 1980′s during the visit of Prince Charles. Tea is now an increasingly popular addition to many people’s busy lives; giving them a moment to relax and catch up on good times with their dearest friends.

Join us in Atwater’s on the third Thursday of each month for a relaxing afternoon tea.
