All ABOUT US

Martha Fairburn, Proprietor

Many People are intimidated by the idea of having a "proper" tea, but we believe a tea can be as casual or as formal as the hostess imagines. Let us help guide you!

I'm Martha, a self-proclaimed Anglophile (a lover of all things British). I was born to an English mother, and developed an early love of tea parties.

I have dedicated most of my life to all aspects of the food service industry, but especially the guest experience and catering side of things. My passion is to create an unforgettable event for you and your guests.

I have been blessed to raise three beautiful daughters, who all share my love of tea parties. We would be honored to share that love with you!

Hi, I'm Martha's eldest daughter!

I'm a graduate student who loves cats, video games, and, of course, tea! I have worked in food preparation, service, and catering for 13 years. I'm thrilled to be joining my mum in providing all of you with a relaxing and fun tea party experience.

Welcome to the family!

Hello!

Ever since I was a little girl I have loved collecting tea sets. It all started with my mother's Japan Moss Rose set. When I heard about Martha's business idea I knew I wanted to be a part of this. I volunteered my collection and my time! With that I was hired! I love to cook and support my niece Maria on all of her band adventures!

I have been retired for a couple of years now and am so excited to jump into a new adventure with all of the new people I will meet!
