I have been fascinated with tea parties ever since I saw the Alice in Wonderland movie. I'm positive that that movie is a supply of fascination for a lot of people, even folks like me who grew up in a household that didn't drink tea. My mother and father have been each avid coffee drinkers, and to be trustworthy I had never had a single cup of tea by the point I noticed the Mad Hatter's tea get together on the video. Nonetheless, I knew right then that I wanted to have a tea social gathering soon.

My celebration was developing, and my mother and father hinted that something special was going to happen. I was a fairly sharp kid, so I assumed that it might have to do with tea, however I used to be not prepared with how all-out they went on it. It was probably the greatest Mad Hatter tea events that has ever been held in my opinion. My dad was wearing an enormous prime hat, my mother pretended to be the door mouse, and my older sister even made a shock look as the queen. My household was all the time like that - going out of our technique to entertain every other. Even to this day, I am touched by the memory.

My fascination with tea events has grown over the years. After I actually bought to have a cup of nice, loose leaf Earl Grey tea, I got here to love them ten occasions more. Once I was a teen, we used to have tea and crumpets about as soon as per week as a family. My older sister and youthful brother would sit down with us to a nice spread involving lovely little cakes and crackers, as well as sizzling, delicious pots of the very best tea we may find.

Part of the thing that has all the time attracted me to tea events is the ritual of the thing. I bear in mind fondly going to the Japanese tea backyard as a child and getting to watch a real stay tea ceremony. It was so cool. My older sister and younger brother had been bored to tears, and even my parents seemed a bit restless, however I used to be held rapt by the entire thing. I had never seen people eat in that sort of ritual method earlier than, and I was really curious to see more. Though my own tea parties have by no means really gotten to that level, I nonetheless really respect the serenity of it.
