As nature awakens and the days grow longer, there's no better way to celebrate spring than by gathering friends for a cozy, elegant tea party. Whether you're hosting in your garden or styling a table by a sunny window, a springtime tea party is the perfect way to embrace the season.
At the heart of every great tea party? The tea, of course and Mrs Doyle’s Tea offers a delightful selection of blends that elevate your spring gathering with every sip.
1. Choose the Right Teas for the Season
Balance is key. Offer a mix of refreshing, soothing, and bold flavors to please all palates. Here are our top spring picks:
- Irish Breakfast Tea: A rich, full-bodied classic to kick things off in true Irish style. Perfect with buttery scones.
- Chill Out Tea (Minty): Cool, fresh, and calming. Ideal after savory bites or to refresh the palate.
- Green Tea: Light and antioxidant-rich, pairs beautifully with fruit tarts or cucumber sandwiches.
- Sleepy Tea (Chamomile): Gentle and floral, best enjoyed toward the end of the party to unwind.
- Hangover Tea: A zesty, revitalizing blend for guests needing a midday pick-me-up!
2. Pair Teas with Springtime Treats
Create a spread that highlights fresh, seasonal ingredients. Some perfect pairings:
- Mini lemon drizzle cakes with Green Tea
- Classic scones with jam & cream alongside Irish Breakfast Tea
- Mint chocolate bites served with Chill Out Tea
- Lavender shortbread paired with Sleepy Tea
Want to get creative? Use your teas in the recipes; brew Hangover Tea into a glaze or add Chill Out Tea to your frosting for a minty twist.
3. Style Your Table with Spring Flair
Add florals, pastel napkins, and vintage teacups to create that cottage core charm. A simple bouquet of daffodils or tulips brings in color and freshness.
Tips:
- Offer personalized name tags on teacups for a thoughtful touch.
- Play soft acoustic music or classical string covers in the background.
- Send guests home with a sachet of Mrs Doyle’s Tea as a keepsake.
