private events

we do private events like no other

birthdays, weddings, showers, engagement parties, the quiet gatherings that matter as much as the loud ones. we build a tea service around your occasion, from the blends in the pot to the way the table is set, so that for an hour or an afternoon the whole room slows down. tea has always done this work. in egypt, where our hibiscus comes from, karkade is poured at weddings and at homecomings and at the ordinary tuesday visit from a neighbour, and it is the pouring as much as the drinking that marks the moment. that is what we bring to your event.

what’s included

we start with the tea. we’ll talk through the season, the menu, the time of day and the mood you’re going for, then choose blends that suit all four, whether that’s ritual red served cold in tall glasses through a summer garden party or something warming and spiced for a winter evening. our baklava is paired alongside, chosen so the sweet and the cup belong together rather than simply sharing a table. the setup is styled to fit your room, with themed décor, considered glassware and a table that looks like it was planned, not wheeled in. on the day, our tea experts handle the pouring, the topping up and the clearing away. you should be a guest at your own event, not the person counting cups.

how we work with you

every event starts with a conversation, because no two gatherings want the same thing. we’ll ask about your guests, your space, what else is being served and what you want people to feel when they walk in. from there we put together a proposal covering the blends, the pairings and the setup, and we adjust it until it’s right. if you already have a caterer or a venue, we work alongside them. if you want the tea to be the centrepiece, we can build the whole service around it. small intimate tables and large celebrations are both within reach, and the care is the same either way.

get in touch with your date, your headcount and a sense of the occasion, and we’ll take it from there.
