Telfair Academy Guild Meeting

“Spilling the Tea: The Rituals and Tableware of Teatime in Britain and America” TAG welcomes Damon Lee Fowler, guest speaker. Few things in this life are as soothingly civilizing as tea, properly brewed in an actual teapot and sipped from a china cup, a pleasure that has been all but lost to our busy modern world. Food writer and culinary historian Damon Lee Fowler “spills the tea” on the customs, manners, and tableware that made afternoon tea in Britain and America one of the great civilizing moments in our history, and debunks some of our fondest myths regarding tea service.
