What is a tea accessory?
A tea accessory is anything that you might use in conjunction with making or consuming tea.
What are the parts of a tea service?
Tea service really only requires a few things. First that the beverages served of the best quality, and they are served at the proper temperatures. A variety of sweetener options should be available, such as, sugar, honey and even substitutes. Tea is generally required to be served loose leaf unless herbal tea or specified otherwise. The guest should also have the option to choose how strong or weak they want their tea. Skim milk and cream should be readily available. Along with all of this you will also need the proper tools, parts and pieces to serve tea. This includes items such as teapots and teacups, tea strainers, saucers, teaspoons and creamer jugs.
