Tea
Choose at least three types of tea for your guests. Preferably, choose Grey Earl, White, and an Herbal Tea.
Tea Pot
Having a tea pot is important to the decorum of the tea party. Do not use a coffee pot, use a teapot. A quality tea pot includes an optional filter for loose leaf tea.
Condiments
Offer your guests various types of sweeteners instead of only sugar. Stevia, Agave, and Splenda tend to be healthier options. Always offer honey as an option. Make sure to put the sweeteners in a decorative dish.

Third Course(Top Tier): The third course is always the top tier. Consider this the dessert course. Tarts, mini cakes, cupcakes, and cookies are usually served on for the third course.
Second Course(Middle Tier): The middle course consists of biscuits, scones, jam, jelly, butter, and sometimes cream.
First Course(Bottom Tier): The first course is the main course. Sandwiches are usually served. Search for tea sandwiches online.
Music: Classical and contemporary music sets the mood for every tea party. Think fancy.
