Traditional English tea drinking

What does a true English tea party, the world-famous afternoon tea or five o’clock tea, actually look like? What are the rules, traditions, and history? Who invented it? What kind of tea is drunk, from what kind of teacups, what kind of snacks, and how is it served? What kind of conversations are held at the tea table? What attire is acceptable? Where does the name “sandwich” come from? What is poured first—milk or tea—and why? Where are such events held today?

You’ll learn this and much more at our “Traditional English Tea Party” workshop. We’ll also host a tea party with traditional English treats.
