“History and Culture of Tea” Party

The History and Culture of Tea class organized a delicous tea party, featuring Darjeeling Tea, complete with milk and sugar cubes. Their culinary creations included classic scones, both with and without raisins, paired with rich clotted cream, tangy lemon curd, and assorted jellies. They also enjoyed savory curried egg sandwiches and refreshing cucumber sandwiches, creating quite the spread!

In keeping with the spirit of a traditional tea party, the students engaged in charming discussions about hats and tailors and the lovely rainy weather they had been experiencing. The treats they prepared received the high praise of being “acceptable,” a testament to their adherence to the understated elegance and modesty often associated with such gatherings. The tea party was not only a culinary success but also a delightful celebration of the rich history and culture surrounding the beloved tradition of tea.
