Tea for Two.

It is that time of year when everything warm wins, which is why High Tea is ideal from October to mid-March for any of your celebrations. Instead of rallying up the troops for a birthday outing to the wineries where everyone will be bundling up just to get a sip of wine, try the warm cozy dining rooms of these D.C. destinations for an elegant tea for the crew. Tea for Two?
