Terri Eager’s been in the tea business for 15 years, but moved the tea room into the Windsor Hotel in Americus six months ago.  Since then, she says business has been great.  Mothers, daughters, friends, and family come from all over Georgia and the country to have a Victorian era themed tea party.

“Just having something totally different from the same old, same old,” Carol Rumph, who was at the tea room celebrating a friend’s birthday, said.  “I think it’d be a good way to relax, get your mind off your troubles.”
