  • Some of our favorite black teas include:

    • Creamy Vanilla Black Tea - great for any time of year!

• For special events, we highly recommend Pleine Lune tea, a flavored tea from France. Pleine Lune translates to “Full Moon” in English, and the combination of vanilla, almond, hazelnut, and notes of honey makes this tea truly incredible. It is available online through a variety of shops. Simple look up “Mariage Freres Pleine Lune tea” online to find available listings.

*** Don’t forget to also provide whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free guests) and sugar cubes! ***

There is just something fun about having sugar cubes at a tea party! We highly recommend offering a combination of white sugar cubes and Demerara sugar cubes. You can also find European-Style Brown Sugar Cubes here. We guarantee your guests will love them!
