High tea party!

High tea party!

​My daughter was recently invited to her 8th birthday party by her best friend. Her party concept this year is a high tea party.

In the West, afternoon tea is known as a tea time enjoyed mainly during the day as a tea culture for nobles and the imperial family, and it was a form of culture that was difficult for the common people to participate in at the time. However, as the popularity of tea culture gradually spread, people from the working class began to enjoy tea in a form that they could enjoy.
​
It is said that the representative characteristic of high tea is that people start drinking tea mainly in the evening when work is over.

​My friend Freya transformed her daughter's 8th birthday party into this high tea party format. Whenever I attend her daughter's birthday party, I feel like I have escaped the hustle and bustle of everyday life and been invited into a magical world like a fairy tale.  And this birthday party consists of only a small number of members. We spend enough time listening to the beautiful birdsong, talking, drinking tea, and hearing the happy laughing and giggling of children.
