Fremont Afternoon Tea Spot Highlighted In New List

FREMONT, CA — Afternoon tea is gaining in popularity, thanks to a TikTok trend started by a Canadian woman who posts anonymously as Queen of Afternoon Tea.

She extols the virtues of a proper afternoon tea, which includes a three-tier plate with petite sandwiches or other savories on the bottom, scones in the middle, and sweets on the top.

In fact, tea is being touted as a growing trend at tea shops, restaurants and hotels around the Bay Area.

Seventeen spots for tea were selected by the Bay Area News Group, including Tyme for Tea in Fremont. The Grand Sparkling Victorian Tea includes "a glass of sparkling wine, a scone with lemon curd, tea sandwiches and pastries."
