Par-tea on!

What’s the best kind of party?  A party with friends and family!  

What makes it better? Tea!

Here are some fun ideas for tea parties you can throw this summer!

Around the World in Eight-Tea Days
The history of tea is rich and fascinating!  You might say tea is steeped in history. For example, chai tea was invented between 9000 and 5000 year ago in India.  Earl Grey Tea originated from an Italian plant but is named after an English aristocrat. Do some research and decorate with items from the countries related to the teas you serve!  For added fun, make snacks from the related countries too!

Disney Tea Party
Disney!  Tea! All things fun!  Find ways to match tea to your favorite Disney characters!  Green tea? Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc.! Earl Grey? Jane from Tarzan!  Amber Peach? Charlotte from The Princess and the Frog! Go crazy! Get as fancy or silly as you want!

Art and Tea
What art can you make with tea?  Use different kinds of tea brewed to different strengths to create different colors.  You can use it like watercolors! You can also use tea to dye paper and create art with that paper.  The more creative the art the better.
