Editorial Review:
Enjoy life. Drink tea. Celebrate often.
Tracy Stern is passionate about tea. She has created wildly popular lines of teas and tea-based beauty products and has hosted hundreds of stylish tea parties to celebrate all sorts of occasions. She has introduced a new generation to the pleasures of tea without any of its traditional stuffiness. In Tea Party, she encourages everyone to make their next gathering that much more special by incorporating tea into the menu. Starting with tips on choosing and brewing teas–from white and green teas to herbal rooibos and different black teas–Tea Party then shares more than seventy-five recipes, both savory and sweet, as part of twenty themed tea parties. Stern features classic tea accompaniments such as Scones with Clotted Cream and Cucumber-Mint Tea Sandwiches as well as novel recipes that use flavorful and healthful tea as an ingredient, including Homemade Potato Fries with Ceylon Tea Salt and Tea-Scented Chocolate Truffles. Above all, the focus is on fun, not fuss. The party suggestions are perfect for afternoons with friends, bridal and baby showers, cocktail and dinner parties, picnics, and brunches. A Mad Hatter’s Tea Party–for a birthday or an unbirthday–will delight kids and adults alike with tea sandwiches made with edible flowers followed by Eat Me! Cupcakes. Chai Breakfast Tea reveals a fantastic recipe for the sweetly spiced irresistible drink along with recipes for chai-scented pancakes and candied almonds. Ideas and inspirations abound for fabulous, easy, and affordable invitations, decorations, table settings, and charming party favors that tie into each party’s theme. Featuring beautiful color photography throughout, Tea Party is a hip, up-to-date slant on a beloved tradition, inspiring everyone to drink a little more tea, celebrate a little more often, and enjoy life a whole lot more.

Rating:  - Not Enough Photos, Advocates Using Live Beings as Decoration
I purchased this book because I was hoping it would help me with planning my first-ever tea party -- for friends who are getting married. I'm particularly interested in the nuts and bolts (my party is for 30 people; for example: do I put a teapot on every table? How do I boil that much water? Do I need one kettle per each teapot? How best to coordinate, since with some teas you want boiling water but some just off the boil, etc.?), but that level of detail is not included in this book. I was also ... Read More
Rating:  - Great gift book that women will love
I was given this book on my last birthday and love it. If you love tea and want to try out recipes that use tea as an ingredient...or want to host a small or large party with a tea party theme...get this book. There is even a man themed tea party that has the most delicious recipes. I thought the photos were well done and paired with the recipes and descriptions of decorations. Worth it if you are in need of a gift for the person who loves to host parties or likes to drink tea. Voila!
Rating:  - Tea Party Book
The BEST Tea Book I have read to date. All the elements of creating a tea party, tea themes, mouth watering recipes, and along the way accented with incredibly inspiring colorful photographs. This is without a doubt a "not to be missed" tea book!
Rating:  - Beautiful!
I loved this book. It is gorgeous.
The ideas are great, although I don't conisder most of it "tea party" ideas. More entertaining.
There also isn't, as far as I am concerned, a high tea (yes, I had ulterior motives in getting the book).
It has some nice and different ideas, the photography is beautiful, and it is a book that I often get off the shelf to look at. BUT.. the ideas themselves are often quite hard to implement (although I realise you are supposed ... Read More
Rating: - Plenty of style, no substance
I host regular themed and non-themed morning or afternoon teas. I am always on the lookout for books that provide inspiration (and keep adding to my 400plus-cookbook collection). First, the idea of a cookbook with themed teas is hardly new. Second, while the pictures in this book are lovely, and certainly inspirational, the variety of foods served at Ms Stern's teas is disappointingly low. Also, with details on decor, etc, the impression one gets is of a "paint by numbers" party. For some people ... Read More
