Karen Ann’s Tea Room is a home where the door is always open to friends. I based the Tea Room’s philosophy of “Where the goodness of tea meets the comfort of home” from my experiences in life. Actually it was a young friend of 15 that came up with the slogan, she said “Aunt Karen, this is so you!” Tea always played an important role in my life. As a child I always enjoyed a cup of tea with my Grandmother. Most of the time “mom” was a coffee drinker but whenever I would visit we would share the time and have a cup of tea. Being from an Italian household there was always coffee percolating on the stove, but, it seems that I adopted my Grandmother’s English tradition of having a cup of tea after school or with friends and family. When Chuck and I were engaged the first thing I asked for on my Bridal Shower wish list was a proper tea pot for steeping tea. I started to experiment with various teas throughout the years and tea became the drink in our household. Whenever friends and family came by we sat over a up of tea. The dream of owning and operating a tea room has been there for me since childhood, back when I received my first child’s china tea set with a ballerina on the tea pot and my Easy Bake Oven™. Now the dream has come true. So, sit back and enjoy the flavor of tea, the special time shared with a friend, feel at home and become part of our family.
