Afternoon Tea (lemmy.world)

I've always wanted to throw an Afternoon Tea party. Does anyone have any experience doing so that they'd be willing to share? I just want to hear the stories. I'm not sure if I'll ever really get the chance; none of my friends are local to me, so I'd probably just be hosting for my mom in law and sister in law, but a tiny tea party could still be fun!

I did this once or twice in college. It wasn't fancy but I still shared my love of tea with my friends. Everyone loved the sweetness of the hot cinnamon spice tea from Harney & Sons. Really I think the company is more important than what you serve :)

Oh I love that tea!

Me too! It's very approachable for people who don't drink tea often

I did one last year for mother's Day. It was great! I went to a local bakery and got some goodies. I also bought a fancy tea pot that looks like a stack of jane Austin books. I also had a ton of other themed teas and a kettle near by in case someone wanted something else. it was big hit

That sounds like so much fun! Your teapot sounds adorable!
