How to Make Tea

I made this to show people how to make tea, and I also wanted to do something fun on the tea side of the Darjeeling Café. Even though we're concentrating a lot of our efforts on wine, trying to turn our restaurant into the wine destination of Central Virginia, we don't want to forget where we came from. After all, this whole thing started with tea.

We're much more like a European tea room than anything else: come in for some tea, stay for lunch, hang out with friends, before you know it, it's time to enjoy a great beer or wine, then it's dinner time. That's how I lived when I was in Europe (not every day of course, but often), and I think that luxury is missing in people's lives here in the USA.
