Family Lunch at Infusion Tea

1.16.09 082

Friday and Saturday my mom came with my youngest brother and sister to stay in Orlando with David and me. It was so nice having their company here for a couple of days. While they were here I wanted to show them what I love about Orlando. Lunch at Infusion Tea was at the top of that list.

Everyone automatically loved Infusion Tea’s bright and lively atmosphere. Below is a photo of me, David and my youngest brother and sister.

If you read my blog you know I love Infusion Tea; however, lately I’ve been disappointed. The staff is almost never friendly. When I ask a question or place an order I feel like I’m bothering them. Normally I don’t mind a curt staff, but in a place as wonderful and relaxing as Infusion Tea, it really bothers me.

We ordered a pitcher of the iced Citrus Sunset tea. With a bit of Stevia added to mine, it was perfect.

Call me boring, but I couldn’t stray from what I love most: 1/2 Milton Salad with the Tempeh Chili. The chili has soaked cashews that give it the most amazing texture. Everyone was jealous of the chili :)

1.16.09 088 For the sake of being called a complainer, I was also upset at how the portions are gradually getting smaller although the price remains the same. The photo above was from yesterday. Below you see the same dish a few months ago. I’ve loved this salad because the huge scoops of hummus and tabouleh… but today I could hardly find it. The chili serving has shrunk, too.10.29.09 I want to use my voice and tell them my thoughts. If I’m thinking it there’s probably someone else out there with the same thoughts, right?

Just over a week ago Julie at Savvy Eats  tweeted me telling me to check the mail and to expect something special soon. Knowing the amazing food she makes on her blog, I was instantly excited!

So last week. after a very long and hard day, I came home to an big USPS box filled with delectable goodies and the sweetest card. Julie, you made my day!

She sent Chai Tea Scones, Chocolate Cherry & Sea Salt Scones and PB + Cacao Nibs Granola. I can’t even describe how delicious everything was. The granola was by far the best I’ve ever had. Since Julie doesn’t sell her stuff, I will have to try some of her recipes!

Julie’s card is now out for display on my kitchen counter. Thank you Julie!
