TEA & ETIQUETTE

Taking Tea for Business and Pleasure

By Dorothea Johnson & Bruce Richardson

Introduction by Norwood Pratt

EXPANDED EDITION

Afternoon tea conjures up both feelings of elegance and gentility. It is, after all, synonymous with civility and blessed with the endearing quality of being part of the world's enduring cup of humanity. The customs and courtesies associated with this most civilized ceremony, however, are disquieting to the uninitiated. Fear of committing "tea faux pas" is on the upturn, as tea is now serving not only a social function, but a professional one as well-an alternative to the business lunch or dinner. This has created an unprecedented demand for learning the essentials of tea etiquette as executives meet in hotel lounges to discuss business over a cup of tea.

This book includes tea history, tea and health information, steeping guides, as well as elements of both social and business tea etiquette. The authors have given you all the information needed to either serve or be served at a host of tea occasions.

helpful etiquette for not only home tea parties, but business ones, too

This book gave some history of taking tea, including etiquette of business teas. I wish it had a few more instructions on how to properly set up a tea table, like where to place cutlery, etc, but otherwise it was pretty comprehensive

The book was informative but I'm looking for the answer ...

The book was informative but I'm looking for the answer to one question. In a low tea, where do you place the teaspoon on the table setting? We had a competition last year on the correct table setting for a low tea and I never found the answer to that question. One lady said it goes in the tea cup but I'm looking for conformation. I thought it would be in the book.

I don't like green tea, but yours has changed my mind. By far, one of the best teas I've ever had....as are all your teas. Keep up the good work!

Your Black Tea with Bourbon is the best. I won’t drink anything else.

I ordered several things online last week and I am delighted with my purchases and with your EXCELLENT service!!! Many thanks for your wonderful teas and associated products, and for your exemplary order /fulfillment practices and customer service.
June Lubowinski, Temple, TX
One evening after dinner with 3 of my friends, all doctors, we decided that your Blueberry Infusion is the healthiest concoction ever created, other than Bourbon of course. I'm including a tin of this in this years Christmas baskets for friends. Also I've baked muffins with it . OMG you've never had a blueberry muffin that good.
