A comprehensive resource for tea, tea accessories, tea rooms, tea parties and tea clubs.

Welcome to “The Spot for Tea”. For the genuine tea lovers among us, the passion for this ancient beverage goes way beyond just having “a spot of tea”. An entire culture exists around tea that cannot be duplicated with any other beverage, even coffee. The Chinese are credited with drinking tea first, but in Japan for example, devotees spend a lifetime perfecting the ceremony of preparing and serving tea. Recently tea-drinking has not only gained in popularity here in the United States, but a whole tea industry has grown up to support this trend. Some of the renewed interest revolves around the benefits of tea for weight-loss and herbal or green tea remedies. Afternoon tea parties such as those held in Victorian times are wildly popular all over again, extending even to princess-themed birthday tea parties for little girls. Tea clubs are cropping up just like book clubs and their members enthusiastically pursue all things to do with tea. Not only do they plan tea party outings, they collect teapots and tea cups and sample the newest loose tea varieties.
