Tea at Three

Our second Tea at Three was held at the Blank Space Art Gallery in the back of the Lie Sangbong store in the Meatpacking District. We partnered with Jo Malone London, as they recently launched new fragrances under the Rare Teas Collection. This collection celebrates rare teas from the Japanese foothills to China to the Himalayas, and consists of six fragrances which have distinct tea profiles. My personal favorite might be the Darjeeling, which is inspired by the idea of the first buds of spring arriving in the foothills of the Himalayas, and has jasmine, freesia, and apricot notes – perfect for the summer ahead.

We had market berries and fruits, as well as madeleines (baked by Kristy of course) and cold-brewed tea from In Pursuit of Tea (prepared by Kathy, of course). The colors of the cold-brewed tea matched quite well with the colors of the fragrance collection.

By the end, we were all giddy from the sweetness of the strawberries and cherries!

Tea at Three

A few friends and I got together recently to throw ourselves an afternoon tea party. We've all had our fair share of afternoon tea programs in the city and beyond, but how nice would it be to treat ourselves to one at home? Kristy was of course the mastermind behind the menu, which included four tea sandwiches, scones, and two delightful pastries. We were super lucky to work with Mud Australia in getting some beautiful ceramics for our tea. I personally own more Mud than I'd like to admit (it's a very slippery slope that started about 3 years ago for me) so it's a brand that I've loved for a while now.





Whether for yourself or for a tea-lover friend, the teas by Silver Needle Tea Co. would be an elegant addition to your collection. The tins are super lovely and have a really nice feel to them (hey the details are important!). Our outfits were provided by LIE. There are so many new arrivals I love, including these fun wide-legged pants – I'll take one in every color. Feel free to use my code 'LINGEREDUPON' for 10% off your purchase at either shop.

If you're in NY and haven't yet checked out the Mud shop, you should! It's at 91 Crosby St. in SoHo. But don't blame me if you start down that slope to a Mud addiction.

And finally, do check out everyone else's take on the afternoon: Kathy // Jee // Kristy
