Create Your Own High Tea at Home: A Moment to Slow Down with Club Louise
In today’s fast-paced world, taking time to slow down and savor meaningful moments is a luxury we all deserve. And what better way to do that than by organizing your own high tea? At Club Louise, we believe in creating spaces where comfort meets quality, and a homemade high tea is the perfect way to enjoy good company and simple pleasures.
Here’s how you can bring the elegance of a high tea into your own home, creating an experience that blends relaxation, connection, and, of course, delicious treats.
Set the Scene for Relaxation
High tea isn’t just about food—it’s about ambiance. Choose a comfortable spot, whether it’s your garden, dining table, or a cozy nook by the window. Adorn the space with soft linens, fresh flowers, and perhaps a few candles to add a touch of warmth. This is your sanctuary, your time to unwind with loved ones or enjoy the moment for yourself.
The Tea Selection: Curate the Perfect Blend
A high tea wouldn’t be complete without an assortment of teas. Offer a mix to suit every palate, including:
Classic black teas for those who love a traditional touch.
Soothing herbal blends, perfect for calming the mind.
Vibrant fruit blend teas, which are caffeine-free and a hit with kids.
To add a personalized touch, serve teas in your favorite teapot and use elegant cups that make the experience feel extra special.
Delightful Treats to Complement the Tea
The food at a high tea should be light, delicious, and easy to share. Here are a few must-haves:
Finger sandwiches: Think classic cucumber, smoked salmon, or egg salad.
Freshly baked scones: Serve with clotted cream and a variety of jams.
Mini desserts: Add a sweet note with petite pastries, macarons, or fruit tarts.
Savory bites: Include options like quiches or mini pies for a balanced menu.
Get the Kids Involved
A high tea is a wonderful opportunity to share a moment with your little ones. Since fruit blend teas are naturally caffeine-free, they make a kid-friendly option. You could even set up a mini “tea station” for the kids to enjoy their own treats and tea, making them feel part of the celebration.
Moments of Connection and Joy
A homemade high tea isn’t just about the tea and treats; it’s about connection. Whether you’re hosting close friends, enjoying time with family, or simply indulging in self-care, a high tea invites you to slow down, laugh, and create cherished memories.
At Club Louise, we’re passionate about nurturing the art of slowing down and embracing the finer things in life. By organizing your own high tea, you’re not just creating a meal—you’re creating a moment, a space to truly enjoy what matters most.
Take a Step Back, Together
While the world keeps moving, you have the power to pause. So brew that tea, lay out those treats, and take a moment to savor the present. Because at Club Louise, we believe the best way forward is to first step back and enjoy the beauty of now.
Welcome to your sanctuary. Welcome to Club Louise.
Love, Louise
