Happenings

Modern Tea opens during weekday mornings in March!

Morning sunlight at Modern Tea is beautiful.  We will be offering freshly made pastries, hot cereal and tea during weekday mornings beginning in March.  Stay tuned for the exact dates - you will start seeing our sandwich board out front when we are ready.  This also means we will have counter pastry service throughout the day while the stock lasts!  Sweet biscuits anyone?

At last...tea events take shape at Modern Tea

From educational to soothing to light hearted to engaging, our events plan to be as varied as tea is itself.  We have decided to host our events on Wednesday nights at 8pm after our first dinner seating.  

 

 

Tea of the Month

China Green - More people have turned to this tea as a gentler, more grounded way to recharge.  Simple, clean flavor that re-steeps well. 

Myths and Legends of Tea

Please join us for armchair style conversation, dessert and tea with the leading expert on tea in America!  We have waited until James Norwood Pratt, auther of The New Tea Lover's Treasury, was able to clear his calendar to launch our first tea event.  We value his amazing storytelling ability and how he always helps us with our understanding and enjoyment of tea and tea lore.  For this event, our subject will be on the stories around tea, the factual, the fictional and the intertwined combinations from generations of retelling.  We will keep it relaxed and open for questions and lively discussion.

When:       Wednesday, February 28th @ 8:00 p.m.

Menu:       Dessert (citrus buttermilk pudding cake) and two kinds of tea (one black and one herbal). 

Cost:        $25 per person

Capacity:  30 people
