Why Disney Fans Keep Spending $79 At This Hotel Restaurant

April 21st is National Tea Day, so we planned to share our favorite teas in Disney World, but then we realized something – they’re all at the same restaurant! 

The Garden View Tea Lounge at the Grand Floridian Resort offers an afternoon tea service with yummy food and the best tea we’ve ever had!

The Garden View Tea Lounge has eight teas to sample, and one of them is exclusive to Disney World! They also have some great food, like scones. finger sandwiches, and plenty of desserts that pair well with the tea.

Our top favorite is the Orangery of Lady Grey. It’s a light and fragrant black tea with bright citrus notes of orange and bergamot. You can also get the London Strand Breakfast, a bold and malty Assam black tea with golden-tipped leaves for richness and a full-bodied finish.

We like the Nutty Chocolate Flavoured Assam, an Assam black tea that meets the flavors of smooth chocolate and roasted hazelnuts. The Spicy Chai is also similar. It’s a blend of African black tea and Rooibos with fragrant spices for a rich and delicious chai.

For a herbal tea, we loved the Exotic Mango & Ginger. It’s a rich, fragrant blend of glorious mango and ginger layered over a base of green tea. We also like the Blackcurrant & Lavender tea with fiery golden leaves, vibrant holly berries, and fields of amber harvests.

The Redbush Caramel Velvet is super unique; It’s a vibrant copper-red herbal infusion made from South African redbush leaves flavored with caramel and safflowers. The Lemongrass & Peppermint is a classic. It’s the most refreshing lemongrass, blended with sweet peppermint, creating an uplifting, smooth herbal-citrus infusion.

There are also some tea cocktails that we loved! The Mint Tulip has Old Forester 1870 Original Batch Kentucky Straight Whiskey and Twinings Peach Mango Tea Refreshers, herbal tea garnished with mint.

The Mar-TEA-ni is made with Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin, Twinings Earl Grey Tea, lemon, and honey, then topped with an edible violet flower. It’s so pretty!

We also enjoyed the nonalcoholic Curiosi-TEA. This is Twinings Refreshers Strawberry Raspberry Herbal Tea with edible glitter! We could sit and watch it shimmer for hours.

The best food is included with the tea. The Afternoon Tea Tower includes:

• Orange-Cranberry Scone – A classic English scone with orange and cranberry as a starter
• Curried Chicken Salad Playing Card Tart – Savory curried chicken salad filling topped with cherry gelée
• Footman’s Feast: Wonderland Salmon Crisp – Wonderland Salmon Crisp with a salmon rillette on a miso brown butter crisp
• Tweedledee Egg Salad Sandwich – A traditional egg salad on beet bread
• Caterpillar Cucumber Roll – A delicious combination with butterfly pea-infused cream cheese and cucumbers on pumpernickel
• Matcha Mad Hatter – Sponge cake with apricot jam and yuzu buttercream
• Tea Party Tart – Vanilla tart, coffee custard, and chantilly cream
• Flamingo Croquet Choux – Choux pastry filled with passion fruit cream and a raspberry crunch
• Painting the Rose – Earl Grey-flavored teacake painted tableside

We love the Garden View Tea Lounge if you’re craving some afternoon tea while you’re at Disney. Stay tuned to AllEars for more Disney food!
