Two bold brews. One classic showdown. Who wins your teacup? If you’ve ever stared at a tea box wondering what’s the difference between English and Irish Breakfast tea?, you’re not alone. Both are rich, hearty black tea blends perfect for mornings (and moody afternoons). But each has its own personality—and we’re here to spill the tea.

Let’s talk napkins. Yes—napkins. Because in the world of tea parties, the smallest detail can say the most about your vibe. Now before someone clutches their pearls, let me just say this: whether you're hosting a full-blown Downton Abbey moment or a cute DIY garden tea on your patio, napkin choice matters—but not the way you think.

Nestled on the serene Wadmalaw Island, just a short drive from Charleston, South Carolina, the Charleston Tea Garden stands as a unique gem in American agriculture. Spanning 127 acres, it's the only large-scale tea plantation in North America, cultivating the Camellia sinensis plant to produce the renowned American Classic Tea.

You’ve sipped tea and nibbled cucumber sandwiches—now it’s time to shake things up. Enter the Strawberry Basil Tea Sandwich and the Iced Tea Pops with Berries & Mint. These two show-stoppers bring a burst of flavor and color to any tea table, and they’re as delightful to look at as they are to enjoy.

There’s a certain kind of magic when a beautifully styled three-tiered tray is placed at the center of a tea table. It’s not just about the treats (although, yes please)—it’s about tradition, presentation, and that moment when everyone leans in with wide eyes and hungry hearts.
