Tea Party Catering Has Arrived With Spring, Thanks Downton Abbey!

It's Officially Spring!                                               

Even though in Columbus, OH, it's not feeling much like spring yet, the signs are here.  Little flower buds pushing through the dirt, an extra hour of daylight, and hopefully warmer temperatures.....(we can only hope).  For Taste Of The Best Catering, spring also ushers in a new year of food trends.  The first 3 months of the year are packed with various food shows that highlight what we'll see trending for the upcoming year, in food and cooking.  And 2013 will be an exciting year for food!

One of the front runners in the 2013 Food Trend Pack, is Tea!

Tea has officially got its SEXY back, and is growing up with a whole market niche of specialized equipment, brewers, and gourmet artisan tea lines.  Tea is stepping out of the shadows of it's big brother, Coffee, and taking center stage, with the help of pop culture phenomenons like the hit series "Downton Abbey".  This popular British TV show has inspired a new-found interest in Tea Parties!

Tea Parties are the NEW Brunch!    
Well.....maybe not the new brunch, but it's definitely becoming a popular requested theme here at Taste Of The Best Catering, and we LOVE it!

If you think about it, a traditional "High Tea" service has all the components of an awesome catered party.  Lots of variety, with filling tasty little bites of sweet and savory tidbits, fresh fruits and canapes, with a soothing assortment of teas to choose from.  Also, the nature of a tea party inspires "grazing", meaning your guests can serve themselves, when they wish, from an assortment of choices, making the party atmosphere more casual in tone.  Also, because of the small portion size of menu options, the meal overall is kept light. This type of menu theme is perfect for:                                     

• Bridal Showers
  
• Bride-To-Be Tea - The perfect introduction for all the ladies of the bride.
  
• Rehearsal Tea - Instead of a rehearsal dinner, why not have an afternoon rehearsal tea!
  
• Birthday Parties
  
• Garden Parties - For some reason, this theme is a perfect fit with Garden Parties.  I don't know why, but when we think of tea, gardens come to mind........
  
• Mother's Day - Gather all the mothers in your life, and celebrate the day with "High Tea" instead of brunch!
  
• Baby Showers - The mother-to-be and her guests can enjoy tasty bites and soothing decaffeinated tea, as she opens her gifts, and celebrated her coming bundle of joy!
  
• Women's Club Luncheons - What's better than sitting around with your ladies, chatting, munching, sipping, and networking!
  
• "Downton Abbey" Viewing Party - You know who you are!  If this is one of your favorite shows on TV right now, like so many other people, then this party is a MUST for you!  Gather your fellow D.A.'ers, and recreate a part of one of your favorite shows.  How can you resist?
