Burdett's Tea Shop is on the historic square in downtown Springfield, TN.  Our visit to this tea room celebrated our very first Tea Travel!  The tearoom was warm and cozy when we arrived and our party of 8 was seated immediately although we had no reservations.  The tea shop had a variety of tea-inspired gifts for purchase such as tea pots, note cards and their own brand of loose tea, Blue Roses.  Although they offer a full lunch menu, we all ordered afternoon tea with a variety of loose tea options.  Their Russian Caravan was definitely the crowd pleaser with Countess Grey coming in a close second.  

The three tiered tray was attractive with the typical tea courses.  The sweets included a piece of fudge, which was an interesting idea, but intensely sweet.  Finger sandwiches included egg salad and chicken salad and two scones were served.  One a savory cheese scone and the other the tea shop's signature raisin scone. Both were freshly bake but dry and the raisin scones were burned on the bottom.

The service was very good and the price reasonable at $16.99 per person.  Our group had a very enjoyable tea time at Burdett's and took a leisurely stroll around the downtown square before getting back into the car for the two hour journey home.
