Darling, not all tea parties are steeped the same—and thank goodness for that. Whether you're planning your next fabulous affair or just daydreaming in lace and lemon curd, let’s spill the tea on the two most iconic styles of tea parties: The Garden Goddess Vibe vs. The Vintage Vixen Mood. Each has its own charm, flavor, and flair. The question is—what kind of tea-sipping diva are you?

Sure, you could toss some tea bags on the table and call it a day—but we both know you’re here for something more. You're here for clink-worthy china, finger sandwiches that slay, and a vibe so lovely your guests will be raving long after the last sip. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, bridal moment, or just feel like being bougie on a Tuesday, here's how to host a private tea party that serves elegance with a side of sparkle.

If you ever find yourself wandering the charming streets of Winter Haven, Florida, wondering where you might sip something warm, nibble on something sweet, and maybe pretend you’re in a Jane Austen novel (but with less corsetry and more air conditioning), then let me introduce you to The Twisted Teapot.

If tea had an it-girl, her name would be Matcha. She’s bold, she’s green, and she’s totally iconic—from ancient temples to your favorite café’s menu board. But don’t get it twisted—this vibrant green queen isn’t just trendy. She’s got centuries of tradition and a whole lot of flavor backing her up.

In the heart of Bay St. Louis, where the gentle Gulf breeze dances through ancient oaks and the charm of Old Town beckons, lies a hidden gem for tea enthusiasts and tranquility seekers alike: The Tea Room at The Bay Town Inn.

If you haven’t been properly introduced to Rooibos (say it with me: ROY-boss), allow me to change your life. This deep red tea is native to South Africa, and while she may not get as much hype as her green or black tea cousins, Rooibos is quietly iconic.

If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping into a storybook, one filled with mismatched chairs, books stacked to the ceiling, and the gentle clink of vintage china, then Dr. Bombay’s Underwater Tea Party in Atlanta might just be your dream come true.
