Midway through its second year in business, Dallywater’s Tea Room & Art Gallery, in Naples, NY, has been rated Number One out of 138 tea rooms in New York State - including the Big Apple! That’s some achievement for a business in the bucolic - yet sleepy - Naples Valley and it’s largely down to the support of good friends and guests who recognize fine quality and have helped this young business receive such an important accolade.
The criteria for ranking tea-centric businesses across the country is managed through the sophisticated TeaMap website where a combination of customer reviews, reviews by peers, and even visits by Mystery Guests, all contribute to arriving at a realistic system of ranking. That, along with Dallywater’s dedication to promoting the culture of tea and making The Dallywater’s Experience the finest possible, proves that a great idea, done right, reaps rewards.
And, it’s not just Dallywater’s that benefits. The rest of Naples is also benefitting from the Dallywater’s Ripple Effect, making it a vital addition to Naples and the surrounding Finger Lakes communities.
