A Conversation About Tea--Part 2

The setting

The tea table should be a reflection of the mood you would like to set. Having a themed tea provides an opportunity to be creative with accessories and centerpieces. Use cloth napkins, fresh flowers (perhaps arranged in a teapot), place cards, and silver or silver-plate utensils.

A tea cozy will keep your tea warm and add ambiance.

Tea towels look lovely and protect your tablecloth from drips.

A thoughtfully set tea table encourages conversation and makes your guests feel pampered.

Even a solitary cup of tea can become a time of refreshment to body and mind when served with a linen napkin and a special demitasse spoon!
