High SocieTea is a charming tea room in Wayne, New Jersey. My grandmother first took me to this tea room several years ago, and I’ve been going back ever since. On a stormy day, I decided to visit again, to see if my memories hold true to the wonderful experiences I’ve had in the past. I’m excited to share that High SocieTea is just as wonderful, and they have some new additions to the menu.

Using fresh blueberries I bought at a farmer’s market, and blending my creativity with ingredients, I’m excited to share a blueberry scone with glaze and blueberry sauce. Light and delicious! A great treat for your morning commute or for sitting and reading a book with a cup of tea.
