All About Afternoon Tea

Welcome to the Road Back to Civilization, the road that leads to Afternoon Tea, and far beyond. At Afternoon Tea, courteous, thoughtful people share elegant yet simple homemade food, drink tea together, and focus on the ordinary little details that make life both interesting and beautiful.
My Tea Planner is our gift to people who love and actively participate in afternoon tea. But it is also for all life-long learners as well as those who have a particular interest in cooking, entertaining, event planning, world cultures, art and self-improvement. Anyone who wants to explore family history, etiquette, poetry and philosophical values is welcome to our website. You might even want to form a Tea Club and use our website as a resource. This site is for anyone who longs for a more fulfilling, dignified and meaningful way of life.
We want to share this road with you, because as you will learn, nothing bad ever happens at Afternoon Tea, and everyone deserves a few hours of pure joy. Even if you have never attended a tea party, we will show you the way. You will discover that a tea party is about much more than tea. It is about generously donating our time and best effort to make our guests happy. It’s about paying attention to the subtle nuances in nature’s shifting seasons and learning to appreciate the foods that nature gives us throughout the year.

We will help you deepen your appreciation of the great home cooks of the past and the cooking of cultures that may not be familiar to you. We will give you permission to like every kind of fresh food there is. And we will encourage you to respect your own natural creativity and live with a profound sense of gratitude for the food we eat and the friends we have been given.
Come along. We’ll start at the beginning—with Tea.
