"One of D.C.'s newest afternoon tea experiences takes place inside a historic independent research library on Capitol Hill. At nearly a century old, the Folger Shakespeare Library boasts the world's largest collection of Shakespeare material and First Folio. After years of hosting informal teas for researchers and staff, the library introduced proper afternoon tea services to the public in October."
"If you manage to acquire one of these coveted reservations (with only four seatings a month, tickets sell out quickly), you'll be invited into the Founders' Room, an intimate Tudor-style space with ornate wood-paneled walls, exposed-beam ceilings and a cozy fireplace (unlit, because open flames in an archive are a bad idea)."
"Each afternoon tea is different, but you can expect a display of rotating seasonal treats along with some staples, including a scone trio, cucumber sandwiches and your choice of Harney & Sons teas."
Bridgerton season four part two concludes Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek's love story. While Netflix has renewed the series for two more seasons, fans seeking period romance escapism need not wait. Washington D.C. features several afternoon tea venues that capture the show's lavish regency-era atmosphere. The Folger Shakespeare Library on Capitol Hill offers newly public afternoon tea services in its historic Founders' Room, a Tudor-style space with wood-paneled walls and stained-glass windows. With only four monthly seatings, reservations are highly competitive. Guests enjoy seasonal treats, scones, cucumber sandwiches, and premium Harney & Sons teas in an intimate setting originally designed as founder Emily Jordan Folger's office.
