Lavanda: Casa de Te

Friday, March 13

Friday arrived in no time, and we decided to use this weekend to see some cities up north. We rented a car through Tuesday and planned a trip to Valdivia and Pucón. With our weekend set, Daniel and I headed to Frutillar to experience the wonder of Lavanda: Casa de Té. Today was a bit cloudy and the lavender was no longer in bloom so Lavanda didn’t quite have the same charm as it did on my previous visit. On the other hand, we were the only ones there, so were able to kick back and relax with some homemade tea and pastry without having to worry about disrupting other patrons. In Chile, onces, or tea time, is quite popular and a part of everyday life. Because dinner is eaten so late, onces is meant to serve as the conduit between lunch and dinner to tide over a hungry stomach. We couldn’t have enjoyed Frutillar more….if only we had enough time to bring Daniel to Se Cocina.
