Le Franschhoek Hotel and Spa


If you've been following this series, then you'll know that we had a family reunion in Franschhoek (Afrikaans for "French Corner") at the end of May. In the late afternoon, my husband's aunt treated all the women of the family to high tea at Le Franschhoek Hotel and Spa. The weather was perfect while we sat outside on the veranda enjoying a wonderful spread of sweet and savory finger foods with individual pots of tea. I was the only one who chose the spiced chai tea. I have fond memories watching the Indian men prepare it in India. They make quite a show of it as they pour the sweet, milky, aromatic tea from one container to another, mixing the beverage well.

Fantastic party - great photos
High tea at a French resort? Interesting! Is it similar to afternoon tea in England? I've never heard of tea time in French culture.

Thanks for linking up for #ExpatTuesday! :D

We are in South Africa and the town of Franschhoek is Afrikaans and means "French Corner". There is a lot of British and Dutch culture in South Africa.
