High Tea in the Sutherland Shire

Getting High Tea Right

Tucked inside the Camellia Gardens at Caringbah South, where President Avenue meets Kareena Road, The Jade Teahouse gives the Shire a high tea in a garden setting rather than a hotel lounge. Ponds, a rose garden and lawns where visitors feed the ducks surround the small, privately run cafe, and high tea is on seven days a week.

What arrives at the table:

A tea tasting to open, drawn from the house's own loose-leaf blends
A scone with homemade jam and cream
A stand of sweets such as macarons, mini cupcakes and caramel tarts
Savouries including quiches, finger sandwiches and a chicken wrap
One hot drink, across a two-hour sitting

Adult high tea starts from $65 per person. Children and teens have their own versions, a lighter low tea suits smaller appetites, and two caffeine-free blends are mixed for kids, which makes it an easy pick for a Shire family outing that spans the generations.
