How to Host a Tea Party

There is no better place to throw a tea party than your own backyard. Sipping some tea with friends and family is great way to relax, have fun, and enjoy each other’s company.

Wow your guests with a beautiful table display. You can be as creative with this display as you’d like, but here are some perfect essentials to get you started.
What you will need:

• Table cloth
• Plates and silverware
• Napkins
• Centerpiece
• Teacups and saucers

Scones, chocolate eclairs, lemon bars, fruit, and quiche are all great finger foods to serve with your tea. If you’re feeling really creative, you can serve some of your snacks in petite dishes, along with mini forks and mini spoons. A Mini Appetizer Kit can be found at Target.

Last but not least, provide your guests with a variety of flavors! Here are my top favorite teas:

• Tazo Passion Tea: a tropical blend of hibiscus, orange peels, rose hips, and lemongrass
• Tazo Chamomile Tea: a calming blend of chamomile, rose petals, and soothing herbs
• Tazo Refresh Mint Tea: a crisp, lively blend of peppermint, spearmint, and tarragon
• Tazo Chai Pumpkin Spice Tea: a cozy blend of pumpkin, cinnamon, and ginger
