Thank you, Cynna!! Thank you for watching and for your comment! I too, love tea, finding a proper afternoon tea is one of my absolute highlights when traveling💕

I'm in the United States, and I say scone as in "gone." I also take them in the Devonian manner, although her dear departed Majesty took them in the Cornish manner. Lovely video, this!

Thank you so much for sharing so much useful info. Love the beautiful tea set

Hello and thank you! I love your name, btw--I am very grateful you took the time to watch and comment! The tea set is from my family--it's Spode; a nod to Mr. Josiah Spode, who was the first to develop the formula for "bone china" using real bone ash from ox bone, which made it strong enough to withstand the hot tea being put into the cup first, before the milk, which would temper the hot tea so the cup would not shatter--I love to know the origin story!💕 Thank you and best wishes for a lovely week! Kindest regards, Heidi

Thank you for sharing this video. Afternoon teas are such a treat. I've never had it in England, but my favorite is Emirates Palace's afternoon tea. I highly recommend it if you are ever in UAE.

Thank you so much for your suggestion I will definitely do that next time I have the wonderful opportunity to visit there! Thank you so much, Lyon sending very best wishes for a lovely day!

Hello, Bekka Kay! Thank you so much for taking time to watch the video and leaving such a lovely comment! I am delighted to read that you are posting afternoon teas! I’d love to hear all about it! Are you making everything or do you have a good bakery where you can buy some things? I’ve made many videos about afternoon tea, I hope you can catch them when you have a moment. It’s just so much fun to host one, and it’s a really good reason to get people together. I’d love to hear all about how your tees are going! Meanwhile, I hosted some friends for an afternoon tea, and we did a video and two parts. Here’s a link to the first part, where I get ready for it, and there is a part two that I hope you can search for or the friends actually come it’s only three minutes, but the friends come and we sit down and enjoy the tea. I hope you enjoy the videos! Here’s the link to part one.: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dGejrrxmpJyXqdY.html I’d be very grateful if you kindly subscribe to the channel, and keep me in your loop about how the teas are going! Warmest regards, Heidi💕💕🫖

Thank you for the afternoon tea videos! Where did you get the three tiered tea caddy?

Hello Heidi, Thank you for a detailed and elaborated explanation. Still got two questions I’d be happy to get responses to: 1. Do I brew a tea on my table, when all the guests are sitting, and then wait for the estimated 4 minutes? As far as I understood, that’s the reason to have a fancy hour glass as a accessory, isn’t it? Or should the teapot be brought on the table with tea leaves and water already poured, and we all just wait for those 4 minutes? If it is the former, do I need to have some fancy utensil (spoon) for the tea leaves to be spooned into the teapot, along with a tea leaves box? 2. How do I discard tea leaves from the strainer in case I have it full during the ceremony (I’m having 9 people altogether, so the strainer might get clotted)? Or should I just have an additional strainer?

Hello! I’m sorry I have been traveling out of the country and just reading your comment. You asked some really great questions and I’m so thrilled you watch the video! First of all, if you’re going to use loose tea leaves, as I highly suggest, you need to invest in some little tea strainers. They are individual, and they sit on top of each person‘s tea cup. You can find very posh ones, or you can easily buy them on Amazon, or some similar source, and they are inexpensive. So, I have my tea boiling, in the kitchen, and I have my tea pot, already warmed up, open your tea pot for a little boiling water into it, squish it around, and then pour it out. The intent is to warm up the tea pot. Next put in the proper amount of loose tea leaves. A loose rule of thumb is one heaping teaspoon per cup, and then one more for the pot. So you first need to determine how many cups does your tea pot hold? For example, let’s say it holds 4 cups. So you would put in for heaping teaspoon, and then one more the fifth, for the pot. Then, ask your guess to find the receipts, and then you pour the boiling water into the pot on top of the loose tea leaves. Wait four minutes, bring the teapot to the table and then start pouring the tea. I do not use the timer. If you have one, use it in the kitchen. Four minutes is also a rule of thumb some people like their tea less strong, some more strong. And that’s when you can have an extra little pot full of hot water at the table for people who would like to dilute their tea, they would like it less strong. I’m going to leave a link to a long afternoon tea video that does help explain all of this. I am here for you, and I am dying to hear all about your afternoon tea and how it goes. Please let me know your thoughts and reach out to me and let me know how I can be of some help to you.! You can always reach out to me on my website or for on KZread. Warmest regards, Heidi.💕💕🫖 kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYB4t8aQhdmvqZs.html

This has been a lovely lesson on tea! Really enjoyed the bit about the origin of bone china. I have a question though, if one were to drink tea with lemon, is it dropped into the cup or squeezed?

@HeidiDulebohn1

Жыл бұрын

Hello Megz! What a great question! You should not squeeze it, but rather gently slide the lemon slice into your tea cup by letting it slide in from the edge of the cup. Thank you for watching, Megz and I always appreciate your kind comments! Warmest wishes for a great day! Heidi💕🫖

According to Wikipedia, a person named Thomas Frye first produced bone China. So, not Spode or Wedgwood

How do you feel about using tea-light warmers? I was doing some reading I saw recommendations on blooming tea leaves in the pot from back in the day. They instructed to fill the pot with boiling water and let it sit and warm up for a few minutes. Then empty the water and add the leaves to the empty pot, closing it, and letting the steam bloom the leaves. Then after a few minutes, you can add your water and brew as normal.

Hello Gabriela! Thank you very much for watching this video and asking such terrific questions Tea-light warmers can be OK, however, sometimes they can actually scorch the tea, even though it’s such a small little light. Yes, absolutely you are completely correct and it is not old-fashioned- it’s what you should do today. This is regarding warming up the tea pot first with hot water, leaving the hot water to warm the pot, then pour that water out. As far as adding loose tea leaves, it’s always in proportion with the size of your pot. For example, if your pot holds 4 cups, you would put in 4 teaspoons of tea leaves plus one for the pot. It’s always “plus one” for the pot. :-) Then you pour in new freshly boiled water -make sure it’s come to roiling boil. Then let it steep, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your personal taste. Then, serve your lucky guests and yourself! I hope you’ve been to some lovely afternoon teas and will consider posting one-if you haven’t already. I’d love to hear all about it! It’s one of my favorite things and truly one of life‘s great pleasures! Thank you so much and I would be just delighted if you would be so kind as to subscribe to my channel, and help me spread the word. Warm regards, Heidi.💕🫖

I wonder, if you're finished with the first course but the others are still eating, do you wait for them? And if so, who takes the initiative to move onto the second course? Great video!!!

Yes, you wait until everyone has finished the bottom level first, then proceed to the next level - wait until everyone finishes, then proceed to the top level. If you are not sure, the highest person in order of precedence/rank/honor is the person to follow. Keep an eye on that person's progression and you can follow.

Hello! Hold the cup by the handle, never pinkies up! Then bring the cup up to your mouth, and look into the cup, and sip-never look over the cup at other people, that’s considered rude. So, sip and enjoy! Thank you for watching and for asking a great question! 💕💕🫖
