Afternoon Tea ~ Mexico

Prior to our vacation, we tried for weeks and weeks to locate a tea room in Cancun or the Yucatan Peninsula region, but to no avail. At best, some of the resorts advertised Afternoon Tea, but we weren't sure what they might include, and since we have experienced hotel teas previously, we didn't want to necessarily take an afternoon to visit another hotel. So, we simply gave up on the idea of experiencing Afternoon Tea in Mexico, and opted for a visit to Tea on the Tiber as a prelude to our Mexican journey. When we arrived at our resort, we were indeed treated to what might be considered an Afternoon Tea, buffet style. As registration was taking place, we were offered this beautiful array of tea time tidbits.
I can personally attest that they were all very yummy!
From finger sandwiches, to stuffed cherry tomatoes, to a beautiful bowl full of Mexican salsa, we enjoyed a savory repast as our first introduction to the bounty that would be shared with us during our stay.
The petite desserts amazed me, crafted by an obviously quite talented pastry chef. Truffles, the tiniest little cream filled swans with chocolate heads, and fabulous candies. Although our treats were accompanied by a glass of champagne instead of tea, this was an acceptable Afternoon Tea in my book, one to remember.
