Tea Party 
                 Rules, Tales and some Interesting Details

If you want to do it the right way, though, there are a few things you need to know about what afternoon tea entails, what is permitted and what is a faux pas.

Some Rules to check:

1. You should know never to slurp your tea or wash down food.

2. Do not fill your cup to the rip or stir so others can hear.

3. Do not allow the teaspoon to touch the sides of the cup.

4. Always keep your teacup and saucer together.

7. First place the sugar in the cup and then add the lemon. Never use milk and lemon together.

12. Take your spoon out of your cup after steering and place it behind the cup always.

13. You should always look inside a cup while drinking, not over it.

17. Never loop your fingers through the handle, nor grasp the vessel bowl with the palm of your hand.

19. Do not put your pinky up.

A little History:
During the 18th century tea parties in the garden became popular. It was fashionable for ladies and gentlemen to take their tea together surrounded by entertainers. This made tea a voguish drink at the time.
