Three Ways to Welcome Tea Into Your Life
Whether you're looking for daily ritual support, wanting to learn confident hosting, or planning a special celebration, we've designed our services to meet you where you are and support what you're actually hoping for.
Return HomeDesigned Around Real Needs
Over the years, we've noticed that people come to afternoon tea for different reasons and with different goals. Rather than offering a single comprehensive program, we've structured our services so you can engage with exactly what serves your situation.
You're not locked into anything. Try one service, combine multiple approaches, or adjust as your needs evolve. This is about supporting your journey with tea, not fitting you into our predetermined path.

Not Sure Which Fits Your Situation?
You Might Start With Subscription If:
- • You're curious about afternoon tea but not ready to commit to hosting
- • You want to develop personal tea ritual at your own pace
- • You'd like to explore different tea varieties with guidance
- • You prefer building foundation before moving to hosting
You Might Start With Workshop If:
- • You want to host gatherings but feel uncertain about the process
- • You learn best through hands-on practice and demonstration
- • You'd value ongoing reference materials for future hosting
- • You have specific questions about etiquette or timing
You Might Start With Event Service If:
- • You have upcoming celebration requiring special atmosphere
- • You prefer being present with guests rather than managing logistics
- • You're hosting larger group requiring professional coordination
- • You want traditional presentation without personal preparation stress
These are suggestions, not rules. Some people combine subscription with workshop. Others use event service for special occasions while maintaining personal practice. Some start with workshop and later add subscription. Your path is yours to design.
Services That Work Together
Subscription + Workshop
Many people find this combination particularly effective. The subscription provides consistent tea exposure and ritual building while the workshop develops hosting confidence. You practice with teas you already know rather than learning both simultaneously.
Common progression: Subscribe for two to three months to develop tea preferences, then attend workshop with foundation already established.
Workshop + Event Service
Workshop participants sometimes book event service for larger celebrations while managing smaller gatherings themselves. The workshop builds skills for regular hosting while professional service handles occasions beyond comfortable scope.
Common pattern: Learn hosting through workshop, practice with friends and family, use event service for milestone celebrations requiring larger scale.
All Three Services
Some people maintain subscription for personal ritual, apply workshop learning for regular gatherings, and use event service for annual celebrations. Each component serves different purpose in their overall relationship with afternoon tea tradition.
This comprehensive approach works well for people deeply committed to integrating tea culture across multiple life contexts.
Single Service Focus
Many people engage with just one service and that's perfectly appropriate. Someone maintaining subscription without ever hosting is as valid as someone who only uses event service for annual family gatherings. Tea culture serves your life however it best fits.
There's no expectation or pressure to expand beyond what genuinely serves your situation and interests.
