Frequently Asked Questions

Is tea included in the Afternoon Tea Packages?
No. Tea is not included in these packages, allowing hosts the flexibility to serve their own tea selections or beverages of choice.

How are the tea sandwiches portioned?
Each tea sandwich is a small triangular piece, equal to ¼ of a full sandwich. Portions are designed to create a balanced and satisfying tea meal when enjoyed together.

When should the tea sandwiches be served?
Our tea sandwiches are made with Japanese milk bread, which is delicate and sensitive to heat. For the best texture and flavor, we recommend serving them just before guests sit down to enjoy.

If left outdoors or unrefrigerated for extended periods—especially in warm weather—the bread may dry out.

Are these packages suitable for outdoor events?
Yes, with mindful timing. We recommend keeping tea sandwiches shaded and chilled until shortly before serving to maintain freshness.

Can you accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?
Please note any allergies or dietary needs in the checkout notes section. While selections are curated, we will do our best to provide appropriate alternatives when possible.
