Undergarments are explained and shown for the Colonial, Marie Antoinette, Civil War and all the Victorian Teas unless the client specifically states that this is not desired.

The history of tea (and in some cases - iced tea) will be explained unless the client's event does not involve having tea or the client specifically states that this is not desired.

Historical Teas began as tea room entertainment but has since branched out to include private parties and other venues. It is not necessary for clients to have their event in a tea room or to serve tea. Special interests or a focus on a particular town or topic may be requested if we are given enough advance notice. Other time periods such as the Renaissance or the Middle Ages may be requested as well. Schools may be interested in having us come in as a way of bringing history to life for students studying a particular time period.

Shows generally run 35 to 45 minutes depending on the period and on audience participation. Historical Teas personnel will visit each table or group after the presentation so that guests may ask questions or comment. There are usually visuals of some kind- daguerreotype plates, portraits, songs, books or catalogues- that are passed around.
