Mystery Tea Party!

kinda expensive for a book. im guessing that you let them taste each tea and guess what’s in it?

as suggested in another thread on tea parties, you might need to have multiple teapots to hold the different teas…and tea warmers too (kinda like aromatherapy burners with tealights underneath). you can offset the cost of that by selling the used-only-once teapot+warmer to whoever is interested in the audience.

you might want to get tea shops to sponsor your event. maybe you can get free tea samples for the tasting. and they can sell their teas on the spot :)

What if each tea name or flavor had some sort of clue to who the thief is? Like Earl Gray, it’s somebody wearing gray, a tea with a flower note-the thief has a flower in their hair…

I dunno, nobody ever accused me of having too big an imagination Haha ;)

A large pot per table of 4-6 would be my suggestion. If you have the help in the kitchen, you don’t need to worry about warmers, just don’t set out more tea in the pot than the group will go through at one time and have servers go back and forth with full pots to refresh, or just hot water if you leave the infuser baskets or teabags in the pots.

Be sure to have water or punch on the table as well, for those who don’t care for tea or don’t think they do. :)

The mystery aspect of it, I can’t offer much advice on. My little group has been meaning to do a mystery tea but hasn’t gotten around to it yet. All I’d suggest is to keep it simple since you are dealing with a wide range of ages.

THANKS!!! Keep the ideas coming. Really need some advice on the mystery party of it now.
