Programs
Program Description:
Step into a warm, whimsical afternoon of creativity, connection, and calm with The Roaming Teacup’s Tea, Tales & Timeless Florals. This two-hour experience pairs the cozy elegance of a curated tea service with hands-on crafts that celebrate beauty, mindfulness, and the simple joys of slowing down—perfect for book lovers and anyone who treasures quiet moments of inspiration.
Guests will sip soothing teas and nibble on light treats while creating pressed flower bookmarks, preserving delicate blooms in a keepsake that feels both timeless and personal. They will also paint a wooden hollow book, transforming it into a charming, functional piece for storing treasures or adding a floral-inspired accent to their home library or reading nook.
This experience is designed for anyone seeking a refreshing, creative escape, where reflection, artistry, and conversation flow as naturally as the tea. Every detail—from the soft décor and comforting flavors to the thoughtfully curated crafts—is intended to leave guests feeling inspired, cozy, and delightfully connected. Bring your friends, meet fellow book lovers, and explore the joy of trying something new. We Will Tea You There!
