Tea party

A Group of Artists, Paris c. 1929, by Jules-Alexandre Grün

The mad tea-party from Wonderland c. 1865, illustrated by John Tenniel

A tea party is a formal, ritualized gathering for the small meal called afternoon tea.

Formal tea parties are often characterized by the use of prestige utensils, such as porcelain, bone china or silver. The table is made to look its prettiest, with cloth napkins and matching cups and plates. In addition to tea, larger parties may provide punch, or in cold weather, hot chocolate. The tea is accompanied by a variety of foods that are easy to manage while in a sitting room: thin sandwiches, such as cucumber or tomato, cake slices, buns or rolls, cookies, biscuits and scones are all common.
