Helpful advice for teatime
As we continue to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the magazine, we want to equip you, our loyal readers, with beneficial tips that we have gathered over the years for perfecting the art of tea. While hosting afternoon tea might seem daunting to novices and even occasionally for seasoned teatime veterans, it doesn’t have to be difficult when abiding by the following suggestions. Our editor and contributing editors provide foolproof ways to ensure a wonderful time is had by all.
“I often speak of the tea event as a play where the table is the stage, the host is the director, and the guests are the actors,” contributing editor Bruce Richardson explains. “Each teatime is a unique performance that will not be repeated because the actors constantly change.” Every afternoon-tea experience should be treated as such, a unique gathering filled with extraordinary people that might never get the chance to sip tea together again. Viewing the opportunity of hosting loved ones for afternoon tea as a true privilege is paramount when preparing for the much-anticipated event.
