You are cordially invited to an enchanting tea party here at Marble Springs State Historic Site. Our next installment of our educational series on women of the 18th century, "Beyond Petticoats: Courage and Conviction in 18th-Century Women" is "Tea in 18th-Century America".
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the tea culture of the 1700s. During this delightful gathering, we will explore the types of tea, tea ware, customs, and etiquette associated with tea during the colonial era here in America.
Savor a selection of teas that were likely those famously thrown into the harbor during the Boston Tea Party, accompanied by scrumptious homemade butter cookies. Our speaker, Vallie Prince, the owner of The Kraken's Cup Tearoom in Knoxville, will grace us with her knowledge and passion for tea as she shares captivating insights into the history of tea and its profound impact on 18th-century America.
"Tea in 18th-Century America" is part of our "Beyond Petticoats: Courage and Conviction in 18th-Century Women" series of programs at Marble Springs.
