Questions, answered
Before you choose your guide.
What do I actually get?
A complete illustrated PDF guide plus three printable references: a tea menu guide, a party planning checklist, and hotel tea recommendations. Final checkout and delivery details remain pending approval.
Can I get all four guides together?
Yes. The full collection (Dining, Tea, Wine, and Hosting) comes as a bundle for $99, which saves you $57 on buying all four at $39 each.
What’s the difference between afternoon tea and high tea?
They aren’t the same thing. Afternoon tea is the elegant mid-afternoon spread of tea, scones, and sandwiches; high tea is a heartier early supper. The guide explains both and when each is served.
How do you properly hold a teacup?
No pinky in the air. The guide shows the correct hold, how to stir without clinking, where your napkin goes, and the full order of service.
In what order do you eat afternoon tea?
Savory to sweet: sandwiches first, then scones, then pastries. The guide lays out the full order of service so you’re never unsure what to reach for.
