The First Ginger Tea Room in Metro Atlanta: The Ginger Room

So much new stuff is coming to the Alpharetta area that will make Atlantans take a day trip to this popular city for an exciting day of fun.

Last week, the girls and I had a fancy time visiting the first Ginger Room in Alpharetta's Historic Skelton-Teasley House, a Greek Revival-style house dating back 165 years! 

The Ginger Room is owned and run by the same entrepreneurs that founded the uber-successful specialty ginger drink company Ginger Yums. The Ginger Room focuses on all things ginger with a healthful variety of ginger teas, coffees, and signature Ginger Yums juices.

Fresh ginger has excellent health benefits like calming digestive issues, soothing an upset stomach, and reducing inflammation.

My daughters and I arrived in the evening to attend their media event wearing our cute spring dresses to go with the special occasion, ready to experience high tea for the first time.  We knew we would be in for a treat once we stepped inside The Ginger Room.

While inside, I admired all the sophisticated and unique antiques that gave a glimpse of British culture and design with a modern twist.

We sat down at our reserved table, and our hosts came out with a tower of freshly-made finger sandwiches, desserts while serving a variety of authentic British teas.  Definitely had me feeling divine surrounded by all the British fares. 

The Ginger Room offers guests a charming venue to enjoy locally roasted coffee with friends or meet with colleagues over an authentic midday afternoon or British high tea. 

In addition to the centerpiece beverage, an impressive and beautiful tea tower features finger sandwiches and fresh scones with housemade clotted crème, strawberry preserves, and fresh Ginger Yums pineapple ginger marmalade. The tower’s top tier is an impressive assortment of desserts, including local macarons, petit fours, Belgian truffles, and Bakewell tarts, Dr. Karl’s signature creation.

The Ginger Room features more than 30 house blends of local, national, and international teas ranging from Chai Box, Jayce Isaac Tea Collection, and Claire Tea (all local teas) to fascinating blends like Ginger Peach Cobbler tea, Earl Grey Crème, Liquid Jade, Bloody Mary or Chamomile; Bee Pollen.

Every single tea I tasted was soothing with either a light fruity taste and some with cinnamon or earthy flavor.  And the sandwiches were delicious too, having me crave for more.

With a focus on local farmers, roasters, bakers, artisans, and other businesses, The Ginger Room features the most delicious, fresh, and creative food and beverage options from neighborhood creators. A few examples include fresh-baked bread from My Daily Bread, gourmet pimento cheese from Suga’s, macarons from Lady Belle Macarons, cakes and cupcakes from Nana’s House and In My Fillings, and a specially crafted coffee blend made in house with fresh root ginger (Ginger Yums original) combined with the most popular cold brew from local roasters including Rev Coffee and Cloudland Coffee Company. Other innovative and delicious coffees include tiramisu ginger coffee and signature strawberry ginger mocha.

The 1,200 square foot Ginger Room features the Parlor, the Parterre or patio, and The Walbrook Room, named after Dr. Karl. In addition to fresh food and delectable beverages, hot and cold, guests can peruse the retail section and take home a favorite tea or coffee, local honey, toffee, chocolate, candle, or fascinator from a local artisan.

The co-owners Angela Avery and Dr. Karl Walbrook's passions shine through creating an unforgettable experience, bringing London, England tea rooms in Atlanta.   I can see how devoted they are to their business and thankful to their staff for helping to bring their vision to reality.  I can tell that The Ginger Room will be the talk of the town and the place to be!
