Comprehension Para III

The Mad Teapot, by Enid Blyton have inspired a tea parlour in Delhi (India) urban village by the name, 'The Mad Teapot' , nestled at the back of a quaint lifestyle store called The Wishing Chair. Enter the 'The Mad Teapot, one finds all the magic of the novel : suspended teacups at the door, whimsical homeware in pretty pastels on the shelves, and at the end of a walk-through the store: a high tea platter.

The owner of the store has a delecatable array of alternatives. 'High Tea' in true British spirit is all about picnics and ceremonies, trying to create a sense of nostalgia, of a world we read about as children. Every weekend, the parlor have a different theme for the high tea platter, featuring a different breaker, an keeping with the season, offering jugs of flavoured iced tea to go with the platter instead of hot tea.

One can not resist to be tempted by the sumptuous cake stand on the table, laden with cup cakes, ice cream tarts, sandwitches  and other sweet and savoury treats, with a pretty flavoured teapot and a jug of fresh cranberry iced tea sitting on the side menu which is designed to nibble on in the Indian summer.
