Presenting your tea on a three-tier tray, above, is an elegant tradition that began during the Victorian era. For the savories course, choose tradition teatime favorites such as Cucumber Cheese Canapés, Parmesan-Chive Gougères, and Tarragon-Poppy Seed Chicken Salad. These would go well with a cup of T2’s Ding Dong Oolong Tea.
I enjoy beautiful things. Fine linens, crystal, china, and flowers can set the mood for the whole day! Nothing says “I care, I love you, and you are worth everything I am putting into this tea.” The colors alone are so soothing and beautiful. Beautiful china teapots can tell one the colors to begin to set “Tea Time.”
Perfectly said! That’s how I feel about table decorating, home décor, ect. Beautiful.
I too love beautiful china and place settings and have many beautiful cups and saucers. The bad thing about it that I don’t know or have anyone to have a lovely tea party with!
Wish you lived close by. I’m in Western MA. Would love to have an afternoon tea party with someone. Patricia
Colleen, where do you live? I love to have friends over for tea.
I’m in Gatineau, Canada.. I also would love a tea party.–I would invite you both, Colleen and Patricia. . Regards. and God bless.
