*Betty's Cafe and Tea Room* # 2

Welcome to my Virtual Tea Room.
If you are new to My Cozy Corner,
 I occasionally visit Tea Rooms, or as in today's post a beautiful hotel.
Go HERE to see Tour #1

During my trip to Oahu, Hawaii to celebrate my daughter's birthday. I treated my granddaughters and my daughter to Afternoon Tea at the Moana-Surfrider, a Weston Resort and Spa  HERE 
In the center of the Moana Surfrider's courtyard stands a large Banyan tree. The Indian Banyan tree was planted in 1904 by Jared Smith, Director of the Department of Agriculture Experiment Station. When planted, the tree was nearly seven feet tall and about seven years old. It now stands 75 feet high and spans 150 feet across the courtyard.

The Moana Hotel, also known as the First Lady of Waikiki is a famous historic hotel on the island of Oahu,  Built in the late 19th century as the first hotel in Waikiki, the Moana opened its doors to guests in 1901, becoming the first large hotel in Waikiki.
The Moana Hotel is regarded as the flagship in Hawaii tourism, and has been listed on the
 National Register of Historic Places.
 In Hawaiian, moana means "open sea" or "ocean."

Hi girls~We are sitting on the veranda. The girls are facing the beautiful ocean and I'm behind the camera running around acting like a crazy woman snapping photos for this post.  The girls were so sweet and happy  we were having tea at such a beautiful place.

We enjoyed the moana classic tea service.

The house blends were so delicious.  I chose the 'moana royale' loose tea.  Very fragrant

The soup of the day is Pumpkin soup.  We sipped the soup from the small cups.  The portion was just the perfect size for afternoon tea.

I love the crisp white table linens and the heavy hotel dinnerware.  The design on the dinnerware is so tropical and an excellent size plate to serve finger sandwiches, scone and sweet pastries.

The tomato, cucumber and olive tapenade on french baguette with boursin cheese was fabulous. The smoked salmon and egg salad sandwich was divine... The smoked salmon and egg salad is going to be a favorite go to sandwich for this summer entertaining.
  The roast beef, spinach and tomato on focaccia was amazing.

Yum-Yum

The Three Tier Plate Stand was a perfect size for our tea table.
Scones with devonshire cream and lemon curd.
Green Tea Macaroons
Coconut and Chocolate Macaroons
Mango Mousse and Fruit Tarts

I love the tea pot.  I poured three cups of tea from the pot.   I want the tea pot.

Out of this world.

Mango Sorbet to finish our glorious English Afternoon Tea

The water, clouds and surfers.  What a fantastic sight to see!
