There’s something utterly romantic about combining the freshness of summer by the water with the refined charm of afternoon tea. On this warm summer day, the garden becomes a little coastal retreat—white hydrangeas sway in the gentle breeze, roses scatter their fragrance through the air, and soft ripples dance over the nearby water.

Today’s table is set for one, a quiet escape from the rush of life. A delicate lace tablecloth drapes gracefully over the bistro table, where a small wooden sailboat sits proudly beside a ship’s wheel and a rustic wooden lighthouse. These nautical touches are subtle, yet they instantly transport the scene to a seaside afternoon of yesteryear.

A single teacup rests upon its saucer, steam curling from the amber depths of Earl Grey tea—its bergamot notes mingling beautifully with the sweet perfume of the garden.
At the center of this tea time is a simple yet decadent treat: Blueberry Jam Cake with Cinnamon Sugar Topping, drizzled with a velvety blueberry sauce. The cake itself is tender and fragrant, with pockets of cinnamon and a generous layer of jam - baked into rich bursts of flavor. The cinnamon sugar topping adds a delicate crunch, and the warm blueberry sauce pools luxuriously around each slice, ready to be soaked up in every bite.

The gentle clink of a spoon against china is the only sound, apart from the faint rustle of leaves and the rhythmic lapping of water in the distance. Here, among the hydrangeas and roses, time seems to slow—leaving only the pleasure of savoring each sip, each forkful, and each quiet moment.
Whether you’re setting a table for a full gathering or enjoying a solitary afternoon, this nautical-inspired tea time brings together the elegance of the Victorian tradition with the breezy charm of coastal living.
