As the holiday season approaches, what better time to begin looking for small businesses to support while having fun with friends and family? I have been looking into local small businesses around Akron to celebrate upcoming festivities with and todayā€™s spotlight is The Tea Lady, located downtown. The Tea Lady has beautifully decorated tea rooms for guests to reserve to have parties in and when you make a reservation, you can choose which treats and drinks you want served at your party. They also have a variety of teas, mugs, filters, champagne glasses, and a variety of other event related items for purchase in the hallway around the rooms. I attended a free open house that they recently held, where they introduced two new tea rooms to the public and served champagne and treats. I was very impressed with the set-up of everything while attending. I would definitely recommend checking out The Tea Lady, whether for a Holiday Tea Party or even just an afternoon tea!
