Who’s ready for teatime? No, we aren’t talking about royal high tea at Kensington Palace, but you will be stunned by the elegance that is The Parlor at Heights House’s Afternoon Tea.

The Italianate-style Boylan Heights mansion now offers an afternoon tea service which will be held weekly every Thursday, Friday, and occasionally Saturdays as a time for Raleighites to slow down and appreciate the moment.

High tea tickets include your choice between organic loose leaf teas provided by Rishi Tea like wild Thai black and white tea rose mélange and a rotating selection of finger sandwiches, pastries, and scones by local patisserie lucettegrace.

There are multiple dates between Oct. 5 and Oct. 20 to choose from — tickets are $60 and reservations are required.
