Taking Time For Tea

Remember when life was slower-paced and you had time to sit and chat leisurely with your friends and family?

The idea of a tea room came to me in the summer of 2002. I was tired of rushing through my own life and thought dreamily of creating a sanctuary where the realities of every day life would just drift away. I envisioned myself inhaling the soothing scents of tea and scones while in deep discussion with my dearest friends.

I was yearning for a place of refuge. One summer day, while having tea with my mother, the idea came to me suddenly. I knew that I couldn’t possibly be the only person in need of respite and relief from the hectic pace of our contemporary lives.

An Afternoon to Remember was born that day. I wanted to create a tea room near my home in the foothills of Northern California. And, I wanted to offer fabulous teas to send to people who lived too far away to step into my parlor.

The tea room was the perfect idea. It’s not a restaurant, but a sanctuary, a place of comfort and ease. It is a place where you feel pampered and special, where you can share your deepest feelings with your best friend. And not worry about being interrupted.

Time stands still in a tea room, it is not a rushed event. You leisurely sit and talk. The point of going to a tea room is to relax and enjoy the moment of friendship. The rituals that surround making fine tea and the delicious foods that accompany it, support this atmosphere of calm relaxation.

Hi. I’m Amy Lawrence and I’m dedicated to educating people in the art of taking tea. An Afternoon to Remember offers a unique, upscale experience. If you are fortunate enough to live within driving distance of my charming town of Newcastle in California, I invite you to come in and take tea with us. Our goal is to have you feel pampered and relaxed. Free to socialize and celebrate special occasions while enjoying excellent teas and delectable treats.

If you are too far away to join us in person, I’ve created fabulous teas and information on how to make them and take them. I’ll send them to you along with all the accoutrements of tea time you could possibly desire. I write books, teach classes, share recipes and show you secrets of fabulous tea — no matter where you live.

I am delighted you’ve found your way into my virtual tea room. I invite you to stroll through and get to know us. Please sign up to receive the article “How You Can Create A Memorable Tea Party On Your Own”. You’ll also receive our special newsletter with tips, recipes and upcoming events.

All of us at An Afternoon to Remember look forward to helping you create memorable occasions for taking tea with people that are important to you.

I look forward to getting to know you.

Amy Lawrence
