In the role of a host
A week or two in advance, invites with the theme (if any) must be sent to the guest via phone, email, in person or by hand
Display your teapot set on a platter, including the teapot, kettle with boiling water, sugar bowl, creamer, lemon slices on a plate, tea bags or loose tea, and a container for used teabags.
Arrange the teacups, saucers, spoons, napkins, and teaspoons on your tea set tray to the right.
Use the left side of the tea set tray to display all the other items you plan to serve.
At such parties, sandwiches will be sliced into bite-sized pieces, pastries will be served, and scones will be served.
Tiered or different plates should be used to organize food elegantly.
Make sure that the teapot is always kept warm. Afterwards, add boiling water to the teapot and insert the tea bags.
It is important to never fill a cup to the rim, and always serve tea on a cup and saucer.
For guests who prefer milk in their tea, fill it halfway, and for those who prefer sugar or plain tea, fill it three-quarters.
It is possible to add lemon, milk, or sugar after the tea has been served, depending on preference.

I AM A GUEST

A little present for the host is always a nice touch.
To prevent staining your clothes, keep party napkins on your lap while seated.
The tea should always be stirred from south to north, never in circles or touching the sides of the cup.
Make no noise when stirring.
A teacup handle must always point to 4 o’clock.
The spoon should be placed behind the handle of the saucer when you are done using it.
You should never move tea bags around in a cup to speed up the brewing process when using tea bags.
Teacups must always be held by their handles.
Don’t dunk the cookies in your coffee.
