200th Birthday Afternoon Tea

A cherished tradition, with fragrant tea, sumptuous sweets and delicate sandwiches served on the finest of fine china amidst flowers, fun and excellent conversation.

As it’s not every day we turn 200, we are celebrating with extra special pastries inspired by recipes from the 1800s, elegantly presented on superb china and accompanied by fine teas and the most delicate of sandwiches.

Tea Etiquette.

To avoid spills, hold a handleless cup with thumb at six o’clock and index and middle fingers at twelve o’clock, gently raising pinkie for balance. Cups with handles are held by placing fingers to front and back of the handle, with pinkie slightly tilted up for balance. Avoid looping fingers through the handle or grasping the vessel bowl with the palm.

When stirring tea, softly fold liquid from six o’clock to twelve o’clock position two or three times with a spoon. Never leave a spoon in the cup; place it on the right side of the saucer when not in use. Avoid waving or holding the cup in the air; return it to the saucer when not in use.

Serve milk with tea, not cream, as cream masks the tea’s taste. Pour milk after tea to gauge the correct amount.
