Fun with Tea as Art

Leave a comment

I’ve been so busy sharing tea and making new plans for sharing tea, I’ve not taken time to update you here.

Tea as beverage, tea in cooking, ….. tea in art? (besides paintings and drawings of people enjoying tea)

On Friday 2/1/13, a new exhibit opened at the Contemporary Art Museum [Jeremy Deller’s “Joy in People”]

Part of the exhibit includes a replica of Valerie’s Snack Bar from Manchester England, and part of the “art” is that complementary tea is served in the exhibit.

Guess whose tea is being served?  Every day of the exhibit, through 4/28/13, good tea is being shared.  I was honored to be asked.

As a further tie-in, I provided individual teabags for an art project for Family Day, and this is what Maria created with those.  What Fun?!

Scottish Tea at the Scottish Games!!

Leave a comment

We are excited to be serving Scottish Breakfast Tea at the St. Louis Scottish Games again this year

We were gratified last year to know you were happy to have a tasty cup of hot tea to drink when it got chilly and damp. We’ve made some changes so we hope not to have you waiting so long to get a fresh cup this year.
Queens Cuisine will be sharing tent with us too, serving scones with fresh clotted cream. (Note – clotted cream only available on Saturday). She too, has upped her baking so more of you can have “Cream Tea”.

Looking forward to beautiful weather and a great time, Friday evening & all day Saturday.
