Tea has come a long way since our Grandmothers or the traditional British "tea time". Tea now comes in a variety of styles and flavors and is even infused in our beauty products and served up in cocktails. Tea provides a wide variety of benefits including absorbing antioxidants as well as providing disease fighting properties against cancer and heart disease. Serving it to your guests promotes relaxation and is sure to help you enjoy each other's company. (And it's appropriate for all ages!)
For a twist on the traditional "tea party" try hosting a "tea tasting". With so many unique varieties out there, the possibilities are endless; from fruity, to minty, to herbal. Visit a local store like Teavana or an online option like Mighty Leaf who offers sampler packages. Choose an array of options and brew them up in clear glass pots like this one from Amazon for added visual appeal.
Before guests leave, let them create their own "tea sampler" to bring home by providing these tea bags that they can fill with their favorite variety of loose leaf tea.
Now I know you're thinking, "All this tea is lovely, but my girls are gonna want a drink!" Don't worry, we got you!. Try tea infused cocktails like green tea martinis or white tea sangria.

There are even products like green tea vodka and sweet tea bourbons that are great just on the rocks. Our favorite, however, are these cocktail infusers from Tea Forte that let you steep tea directly into alcohol so your guests can choose their flavor and type of spirit. They also come with a recipe book with all kinds of cool concoctions so the possibilities are endless!

Whatever your choice, pair your tea with assorted nuts, cheeses, mini sandwiches, and of course, sweet treats and you've got a "modern tea party!"
