It's In a really cute town with shops all around, street metered parking except on the weekends. Not sure if there is another parking area. My friends and I went for gourmet tea tasting and came away with a wealth of knowledge and new understanding of tea. Phil took us on a journey of tea that was like an upscale wine tasting. We tasted 6 teas and they all were so different. From the color of tea, types of tea, why all teas with the same name are not created equal, to the temperature of the water, different pots, regions, his travels since the 70s....yea we learned a lot. I look forward to going back to buy more tea. Staff were really nice. You can order. Beverage and treats there too. Not much room to sit but grab. Beverage and walk around and maybe learn something.

The space is beautifully decorated and a soothing aroma embraces you as you enter. The fireplace will be the envy of all and sets the tone for a place where you can slow down and relax. The history of the building is reflected in every nook and cranny. Truly charming! I had a few different iced teas and honestly could not pick a favorite but anything with peach or hibiscus is a 10 out of 10. You can tell that the blends were made with expertise and thoughtfulness. I personally did not get a reading just yet but I intend to return because just being there felt like a ritual in itself. The women there were knowledgeable, warm and gifted. Whether you are a believer or not, it's a must see in Clinton! Wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

I was disappointed to hear that the Oxford Tea with Tracy had closed because we were in that area a…read morecouple times a year and liked the shop. I knew there was another one somewhere though. Then, wouldn't you know, I'm walking around Seymour, CT and spied the other Tea with Tracy. I didn't eat food, but I did order a hot tea to drink. The Louisa May Alcott from the Author's series. Very good. The shop was nice, but it wasn't quite as nice as the Oxford shop was. The tea product offerings seemed similar though. I've still never done an afternoon tea, but it's on my list. 4.25 Stars

The grilled cheese was probably the best item of the bunch. The banana pudding was also pretty good but the pecan pie was burnt and the laminated cake was dry again borderline stale. I also thought the mocktails were awful - flavored seltzer but missing the flavor. The tea itself was decent but not good enough for a return trip.

I just visited Bones & Botanicals for their grand re-opening weekend. Although I love Bones &…read moreBotanicals, my biggest complaint about the old location was that it was a little too small. The new location is much larger and it's so close to The Gilded Curtain. I was so happy to see Jeremy & Sarah, the new space, all of the new decor, and the new menu. After exploring all of the witch decor, I pulled up a seat at the bar and perused the menu. Since my last visit, I have actually given up alcohol. This is no problem at Bones & Botanicals: they have plenty of non-alcoholic options. Throughout my visit, I enjoyed the mocktails "Apple of my Chai" (chai tea, housemade apple cider concentrate, lemon, topped w/ ginger beer), "Azurite" (cold brew lavender tea, housemade blueberry syrup & lemon juice, club soda), and "The Little Sister Maiden" (butterfly pea tea, housemade syrup w/ butterfly pea tea, lavender & vanilla, lemon juice, topped w/ club soda). I enjoyed them all, but the latter was my favorite. In addition to being very flavorful, they also had great presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the new Bones & Botanicals and I think that the Gliddens are going to do very well here! I highly recommend a visit to either of their establishments!

I love a good speakeasy visit! This bar is accessible via the code on their website. Very spooky!…read more It's small but there are so many different seating options. The bar has a few seats, a high top, and some seats. I loved the coffee table, the green glow was so cool. The teas and syrups are amazing there are so many options. Food options are very limited, either hummus and chips or a veggie plate if I remember correctly. Service was great! The one bartender held it down when things got hella busy. I got a blueberry no-jito and it was so refreshing.

One of the 23 vendors was the Traveling Sisters Roasters, and we stopped by to chit-chat and learn a little about the business. They are a Connecticut licensed cottage business out of Colchester, and they roast and sell a few custom blends in bags or K-Cup style Pods. Their coffees are available at Farmer's Markets and special events around Connecticut, and on their website. Connecticut customers can get free delivery. Their seven blends include beans from Peru, Columbia, Brazil, Sumatra, Guatemala, Java Indonesia, Mexico, Ethiopia, the Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica, so there is a big variety of undertones for your sipping pleasure. The blends also vary in acidity for those with a sensitivity to that. I love dark coffee so there was no way I was going home empty handed. K-Cup pods were $2 each, so I picked up one of three different blends. Here are their web descriptions: Daring Flight - Dark Roast "Featuring dark roasted coffees from Mexico, Guatemala, and Ethiopia. Blended together they make a bold full-bodied cup of coffee with chocolate and citric notes and just a hint of spice. The perfect coffee for those who like a dark rich cup of coffee to start their day." It was a very good cup of coffee, smooth, no aftertaste and no bitterness. Soby's Journey. Dark Roast "Featuring the dark roasted coffees of the Dominican Republic, Guatemala and Costa Rica. A smooth creamy blend with undertones of vanilla, chocolate and orange with low acidity." I definitely picked up a vanilla undertone on the Soby, but the overall flavor was lighter than I expected for a dark coffee. Global Adventure - Dark Roast "Featuring dark roasted coffees of Ethiopia and Colombia. A smooth blend with undertones of sweet chocolate and red fruit with some sweet nuttiness with low acidity." I knew this was going to be my favorite before I even had a sip because the brewed aroma was fantastic - a deep dark flavor profile. Traveling Sisters also sell medium and espresso roasts, and a decaf. Go check them out and see for yourself.
