BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — Aimee Kerr has the delicious remedy for our screen-time addictions:
A cup of tea. Some finger sandwiches. And maybe a nice hat.
"You don't see a lot of cellphones out in here," she says.
Her cure for our modern scrolling malaise is called the Tilted Teacup Tea Room in Brooksville (410 E Liberty St), a soothing escape from our go-go world.
Aimee presents a lunch version of "high tea," a quiet calming moment amidst the chaos to catch your breath and calm your mind.
(For purists, traditional high tea is later in the day, afternoon tea around 3pm and 5pm. But the British concept of tea and tiers of food remains the same.)
Enjoy one of 50 different teas, homemade soups and finger sandwiches, talk to friends and family, take a deep breath, be present and relax.
"I love to serve people, make them smile, make them happy," says this mom of four who is living her dream.
The tea room is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11am to 3pm.
Reservations are required, but the restaurant features several elegantly themed rooms with plenty of seating.
