I love this real fruit tea. It's a mix of real juice and tea, with real fruit inside.





2nd plate with scones and bread pudding.


Price: $25/person.
(mini set would be $15 with tea+6 pieces pastry).

I like the scones in Secret Garden more but this is not bad either. The bread pudding is very good.
As for the sandwiches, I think there are more varieties than Secret Garden. As for dessert, both are too sweet to my taste. But I think it's more "authentic" as the western dessert is always on the sweet side.

Overall, I think I will go back for mini high tea next time. Like the fruit tea there. I'll go back to Secret Garden for the scones!

    I can't remember if the scones served in Secret Garden is cold but definitely not hard. I think it served warm. It's fluffy and very buttery taste.

Yes Adonia serves scones warm. But the sandwiches ... the bread is a bit hard in Adonia. I think i prefer the Secret Garden sandwiches. I haven't tried Urban Tea Merchant high tea but from the picture the portion is just too small to justify the price.
I go there for tea though. Love the tea there.

    They have traditional tea but I just want to try some unique ones. As for the menu, dessert is authentic (because it's so sweet, more suitable for local taste). Others, I think it's a bit Asian and yes it's run by Asian...

    high tea本來就係英國嘅傳統。
唔該咪乜嘢都chinese tradition啦，中國鬼有下午茶嘅習慣呀，瞓晏覺就有。一係就三點三放個break。

    我宜家係講緊英式下午茶，唔係同你講茶嘅起源，唔係同你講中式點心。你咁鍾意講唔該你自己開個thread講。

    我講嘅British High Tea，係英國嘅一種民間風俗，afternoon時間就一班女士坐埋一齊，一邊食小點，一邊茗茶，當然唔少得gossip一番。一般middle class都是如是。
而你講嘅中式宮廷美點，講飲講食，中國咁多年文化，當然博大精深，鬼唔知茶係中國傳到外國？邊個唔知中國景德鎮瓷器出名？但係現今中國又有幾多人保持茗茶傳統？對茶具講究，會食你所講嘅點心同埋一變嘆茶？反而係廣州保持住一盅兩件嘅習俗。

    係你話high tea HIGH 嗟。真係好笑，high tea／afternoon tea只係英國啲習俗，啲女士嘆茶食點心gossip吓就話人公主病，唔通靜係男士食講究嘅中式點心先叫高尚？

簡直一語中矢。以為香港多呢類人士，原來溫哥華都唔少。
