Ideas For Mother's Day Afternoon Tea
Create a whimsical tea party for mom this Mother's day!
Creating thoughtful new ways to honor and celebrate mom every year can be challenging. But the truth is, as long as your mother gets to sit back and relax on her special day, you're on the right track! And what better way to create a day of total relaxation for mom, than a casual tea party at home?
The Tea
The star of the show at every tea party is the tea itself, of course. For this particular occasion, Catalyst Tea Company recommends teas that specifically embrace and sustain women's health. The Empress tea we offer, for example, is a fragrant herbal tea blend of organic peppermint, organic raspberry leaf, nettle leaf, ginger root, chamomile, and rose petals. It is designed to nurture your inner empress and is perfect to enjoy after a long day.
Or, for the new mom in your life, try our Mama Llama herbal tea blend. Made by a mom for moms, this tea is a mixture of raspberry leaf, nettle leaf, fenugreek seed, fennel seed, lemon balm, and rose. These herbs have traditionally been used for many years during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Treats And Snacks
No true tea party is complete without great food. Chocolate is always a good choice, and maybe consider offering some french macaroons for a pop of color. Simple cucumber sandwiches with your preferred bread or croissant, a cream cheese spread, and some fresh dill can add a refreshing touch to the food selection. And if sandwiches and cookies aren't your preference, try going the charcuterie route. Using cheeses, and dried fruits that mom enjoys will really set your tea party off on the right foot. You may also consider creating a special tea-infused cocktail, to go along with the theme.
