Secrets of the Tea Room: The Case of the Missing Heirloom - A Teatime Experience

Every tearoom has a story. Some have secrets waiting to be uncovered.

Join Ruth's Tea House at Sweet Remembrances Tea Room in Mechanicsburg, PA for an afternoon of elegance, mystery, and a little unexpected fun!

Secrets of the Tea Room: The Case of the Missing Heirloom is a vintage inspired, three course afternoon tea experience where timeless traditions meet a touch of intrigue. This unique event includes:

  • A three-course afternoon tea meal featuring an Autumn Harvest Salad, two substantial savory selections, and a full-size dessert.
  • Two individual pots of Ruth's Tea House signature loose-leaf tea per guest, with the option to choose a different blend for each pot from a specially curated selection of six blends. Each pot provides multiple servings, allowing guests to refill their teacups and enjoy their tea at their own pace.
  • An interactive mystery experience featuring clues, riddles, and teamwork.
  • Opportunities to win special prizes
  • An intimate afternoon of conversation, connection, and a little friendly competition.

But there's more to this afternoon than tea and delicious food! Somewhere within the stories of the tearoom lies the mystery of a missing heirloom. During a special intermission between the savory and dessert courses, each table will become its own team of amateur detectives. Guests will work together to uncover clues, solve a series of riddles, and piece together the story before time runs out. A little friendly competition and prizes will make the afternoon more memorable!

Whether you're joining us with friends, bringing someone special, or attending on your own, we invite you to pull up a chair, enjoy a warm cup of tea, and become part of the mystery. No detective experience required. Just bring your curiosity!

Seating is intentionally limited to create an intimate and welcoming experience.

Will your table be the one to solve the mystery?

In addition to being a student of Rosemary Gladstar's program and a graduate of David Winston's School of Herbal Therapeutics, she has a wealth of knowledge gleaned from 50 years behind the desk at The Rosemary House. Rosemary Gladstar whose course work will be the basis for the class, is a pioneer in the herbal movement and has been called the "godmother of American Herbalism". She is the founder of the California School of Herbal Studies, the oldest running school in the US and the author of the Science and Art of Herbalism at-home course.
