Put Up Your Christmas Tree for a Christmas Tea!
By Dawnya Sasse
It’s that time of the year again! The snow is gently falling outside your window. Christmas trees are being decorated and stockings are being hung. Shoppers are bustling and presents are being wrapped. Holiday cheer fills the air. And so does the rich scent of tea!
If you are a tea business owner who would like to celebrate the season of giving, why not have a holiday tea party at your store? Sound like a festive idea? Then let’s get planning today.
First of all, you can start putting your Christmas tea party
together with holiday decorations. For example, you can
set up tables in your store that are adorned with pine
wreaths and holly.
Perhaps you could put a poinsettia
centerpiece in the middle of each table. Next to all of the
tables, you can set up a fabulous Christmas tree.
You can even hang tea-inspired ornaments from it, such as
little glass teacups or teapots. What a lovely conversational
piece your tree will make. If you want your party to be
extra special, why not have all of the guests buy or make
their own tea ornaments.
You will be surprised to see how creative people
can be with tealeaves and tea products.
After everyone’s ornament is hung on the tree, the food and
drinks can begin!
At your store’s Christmas tea party, you can serve bite-
sized snacks. Try some pumpkin bread topped with honey
nut cream cheese. Serve mini roast beef sandwiches. For
the sweet tooth, you can serve fudge squares or delicious
little sugar cookies. Your guests will be licking their lips in
delight.
So you have your decorations, your tree, and your food…
but let’s not forget about the most important thing of all –
the tea!
For a Christmas tea party, you should certainly
serve hot-spiced teas. Try a Ceylon black tea that is
flavored with spicy cinnamon, strong cloves, and flavorful
orange peels.
You can even make a variety of twelve teas and serve
tastes of “The Twelve Teas of Christmas”. The teas you
choose are completely up to you. Your customers will
savor the opportunity to try and then later buy their favorite
picks.
Don’t forget: Never allow your customers to go home
empty handed. When your customers exit the tea party,
you can present them with small gift packages – Christmas
presents – from your store. These gifts can be located
under the tree, and picked up upon departure.
As for gift ideas – cinnamon swizzle sticks and some
sample teas can be wrapped up in colorful Christmas gift
bags to go.
No matter what gifts you choose to give, your party will be
sure to warm the hearts and the souls of all who attend.
Customers will enjoy it so much, that they will come back
to your store for more and more – no matter what the
season.
So have a Merry Christmas and a happy teatime!
