TEA ETIQUETTES

While attending a party or a gathering, do you feel shy and not confident of your tea etiquette? Let us look into some basic mistakes that we all make while sipping a tea at a tea party. Know more about the tea snacks and what should be done and not done while grabbing your favorite tea snacks.

• Pick your cup and saucer together- holding the saucer in one hand and cup in the other. 

• Do not stir your tea, with your tea spoon in sweeping circular motions. Place your tea spoon at six o’ clock position and softly fold the liquid towards the twelve o’ clock position two or three times.

• Contrary to the popular belief, the ring and pinkie fingers should not be extended, but should rest by curving gently back toward your wrist.

• After stirring, never leave your spoon in the cup; place your spoon quietly on the saucer, behind the cup, on the right hand side under the handle.

• Never sip your tea from the spoon or place your finger in your mouth to taste your dessert.

• Take small bites. Never stuff the whole sandwich or dessert in your mouth even though it seems small enough or terribly delicious.
