Tea Etiquette & Tastings – An Afternoon Extravaganza of British Elegance

In collaboration with Sophie’s Grill and Bar:

Celebrate Old-World traditions in a flamboyant afternoon of British elegance and learn about the history of tea and the culture that developed around it.

Sophie’s Grill and Bar is a family endeavor helmed by first-generation immigrants to America. Owner and Chef Desislava, or “Desy,” hails from Bulgaria and opened her restaurant as a way to share the love and hospitality of her grandmother’s cooking. Her staff is comprised of Chef Cristina from Romania, Sommelier Dalibor from Serbia, and Pastry Chef Neli, also from Bulgaria.

Think of this class as a fabulous crash course in tea etiquette and history: attendees will indulge in proper British pastries and sandwiches while learning tea decorum and delving into the rich history of tea. Last but not least, guests are encouraged to don their most fantastic tea party attire.

In addition to local handcrafted tea, each ticket includes:

-3 sandwiches: 1 salmon, 1 chicken, 1 cucumber
-3 scones: 1 blueberry, 1 strawberry 1 apricot
-3 sweets: strawberry British cake, red velvet cake, and champagne strawberry mousse

Cheers!
