strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the
comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company.

Though we Tea Timer partners come from different backgrounds—Helen grew up in England and Susann in Germany, Karen K. hails from Virginia and Karen T. from New York—the four of us have more than a few things in common. We’ve worked together for years as nurses, and discovering our shared passion for sinful food and laughing cemented our friendship. And from that, The Tea Timers developed. Not only is baking a wonderful emotional release, it also yields an abundance of scrumptious comfort food.

We love to pamper people and help take the stress out of in-home and corporate entertaining. Our goal is for you to relax and feel like a guest at your own special occasion.

We don little black dresses, pearls, and white aprons known as “pinnies,” to bring you the cozy yet elegant tradition of English tea, served in your home or office.

The Tea Timers afternoon tea is always a special occasion. It’s a treat, a little bit decadent, a fun thing to do. And it’s just relaxing.

You don’t have to be a dowager countess to indulge in a taste of Downton Abbey-style coddling and to enjoy our high-quality homemade treats, gracefully served on our collection of vintage bone china, heirloom linens and traditional tiered cake stands.

there is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea.
