How to Make the Perfect Cup of Tea - By Fortnum & Mason

10/20/2014

0 Comments

 
I have a good friend who moved to back to England, and recently wrote with the perfect way to make any tea lover quite jealous. She had been to Fortnum & Mason's tea salon for afternoon tea!

Fortnum's has been selling high-quality tea for almost 300 years, and taking tea at their Piccadilly store in London is almost a must-do for anyone who enjoys a perfect cup of tea.

Because I can't bring Fortnum's complete tea experience to you through a blog post, I figured I would share this video where a Fortnum's Tea Specialist explains how to make the perfect cup of tea at home.

Make sure you pay attention as to why the milk is added afterwards! There is a historic reason.

Setting a table for tea is half of the joy of having tea. There is not really a right or wrong way to do it, but here is a quick guide that can help you find a spot for every piece of crockery and cutlery in our rental tea party packages, and set a pretty table for your guests.

The following are the basic serving items. To make your table look more stylish, our tea party packages include ornate cake platters, as well as two and three tiered serving stands. View some of them here.

And finally, the goodies! You can't go wrong with tea foods so encourage you to be creative. A curried egg salad sandwich or a scotch pepper jam will only add to the fun. However, here is the all-time favorite classic afternoon tea menu.

Now take a look at your calendar and mark a date for a tea party with your friends and celebrate life!
