Glimpse into the world of Victorian culture through the simulation of a
tea party and taste the delightful and exotic flavors of teas! Visitors will go back in time to the late
Victorian Era (1837-1901) when Frances Osborne Kellogg would have been a young
lady hosting and going to tea parties.
The workshop will be held at the Kellogg Environmental Center from 1 PM
to 2:30PM on Saturday, August 23, 2014.
During the workshop, visitors will learn the history of tea, the types of
tea services, and Victorian tea etiquette. They will taste a variety of black
teas ranging from the citrusy Earl & Lady Grey teas to the malty, rich
Assam tea varieties. Also antique tea sets from the Osborne Homestead Museum
will be on display. At the end of the
program, visitors can take home handcrafted teas and teabags and information on
other uses of tea.
Refreshments will be provided, and there is a $5 registration
fee. To register and for more information,
