About us
I am in many Tea Groups that only cover one area so I decided to start a group that covers all of Southern California as I enjoy going to other locations & would like to try Tea Houses in all of Southern CA. Looking for women who would like to get together to try different tea houses/enjoy high tea in a variety of venues all over Southern California from the San Fernando Valley (High Tea Cottage) to the Beach (Ritz Carlton) to the Mountains (Mill Creek Manor Tea Room in Big Bear). Also may plan lunches & other events to try new restaurants for brunch, lunch & dinner. Members of this group are in all areas so we do restaurants in a variety of areas. If you enjoy going to high tea and brunches & don't mind a little bit of a drive please join us!
