Roswell Tea House (Beauty Boost Salad)

Today I had the "Beauty Boost Salad". Yes yes, I know what you're thinking, "isn't that just a little too feminine Well so what if it is? Wanna fight about!? ANYWAY... The server lady which I'm afraid I don't know her name, but she knows me which I feel bad about, suggested it since it was discounted today and she knew I liked Salmon. Well low and behold I was pleasantly surprised, although I'm not sure why should be at this point.

Beauty Boost Salad Review:
This salad was delicious and fulfilling. It had a natural sweetness thanks to the perfectly balanced blend of fruits (blackberries, sliced strawberries, dried cranberries). The green tea ginger dressing seemed to have a base of mayonnaise that I wasn't too fond of, obviously since I don't like mayo, but after the initial bite it didn't seem that harsh. I spread it lightly and it gave the salad a nice light creamy tang. The salmon was absolutely delicious and complimented the coolness of the salad very well.

Chocolate Chai Cake Review:
This cake was interesting. The cake was nice and moist. It looks incredibly sweet but to the contrary it was more on the bitter side. The interesting thing about this cake is that you do not taste chocolate at first but rather a chai essence, followed by a strong dark chocolate bitterness. The added whipped cream gave it the perfect combination of bitter-sweet creaminess heaven. This combined with the anti-aging blend tea turned out to be a wonderful combination.

Anti-Aging Blend Tea Review: It's been awhile since I've had tea outside of Japan that I thought was tasty. I'm very much a classic green tea drinker. The Anti-Aging Blend that is served here is marvelous. It's not at all bitter and has something of a sweet caramel aroma. Drinking this tea is in my mind absolute bliss. No need to add any sugar, lemon, or whatever else you can think of to this tea. To truly enjoy it, you must drink it as it is and be sure to take in the aroma while drinking it. Drink it correctly and you will be rewarded with a sweet unsweetened tea.

I absolutely love this place. I even brought Ein with me and dined outside since the weather was nice. The ladies here were so nice and even brought Ein out a bucket of water.
