You might be surprised to know that tea is second only to water as the most consumed refreshment beverage. Throughout the ages, tea has played a vital role in world politics, wars, literature, romance and cuisine. Many consider tea to be the nectar of life so it is the logical choice to set a tone for a grand party – a Tea Party.

For centuries, there was only one type of tea - black tea, which everyone is familiar with. However, today, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of teas that span the entire spectrum, like wines. As wine comes from grapes, tea comes from a green plant called Camellia Sinensis. And, like wine, tea’s implanted roots in soil, temperature, climate, altitude and rainfall all contribute to the unique characteristics of each plant and leaf. Because of these factors, there are traditionally five categories of tea: brown or oolong; black; green; pua'erh; white; and herb tea, most recently added.

Because tea is worldwide and its influence spans cultural and economic boundaries, we created tea party invitations representing global customs. The tea party pays homage to established traditions such as the “Garden Party” or “English High Tea”. Whatever tea party you choose to host you, your celebration will surely be incredible.

The tea party style is subject to your own interpretation. Your tea party can be a lavish, formal affair or a more intimate and casual gathering of friends. You can incorporate your favorite things into the tea party experience. Use your favorite linens, maybe even cloth napkins, tea wares, serving pieces and tableware that define you. You can add fresh flowers on your tables or even single rose stems in appropriate glasses. Create a nighttime Tea Party and add candles or tea lights for an added ambience.

The choices for your tea party are a simple matter of taste. Regardless of the type tea party you choose to have, it will be lots of fun from start to finish. So sit down, relax and make your mind up to host a tea party and serve what you like. A tea party is great fun for everyone!
