Galentine's Tea in Shreve Ohio

 I was super excited to do a Galantine's Day in Shreve!


My mom lent me her teapot.  I love it!!  She brings is out at Christmas.  We have a friend in Cincinnati that she got the pottery from.

I then have the teacups that are made from the same Hartstone Pottery in Zanesville OH.



This will be the second time I have partnered with HeBrews and Brick and Velvet to do a tea.


HeBrews provides the venue and the fun treats.
Brick and Velvet provides the craft.
Kerrie's Cup of Tea provides the tea.

We love serving you.


I did four teas, three of which were served hot.

Pinky Up - Raspberry Truffle | Yerba Mate Herbal Tea, Ingredients: Yerba Mate roasted, elderberry, white chocolate, almond, strawberry leaves, blueberry and raspberry pieces, natural and artificial flavoring, stevia extract
Ohio Tea- Love Potion #9, black tea, Organic black tea, ginger, raspberries, rosehips, cacao shells, candy hearts and natural flavors
Demmers Teehaus- Amadeus, Black Tea-  
  • Ceylon Black Tea 
  • Chinese Black Tea, 
  • Orange Flavoring, 
  • Orange peel



I try to always do a menu at a tea.  I want people to know what is in the tea if there are any allergies.  I also don't sell any of the teas I use, but I want people to be able to find the teas if they decide to buy them.


HeBrews has this great room called, The Gathering Place.  They have a handy outside entrance as well as getting into the room through Brick and Velvet and through HeBrews.  They are all connected.


Two people did not show, so we had five ladies come for tea.  


I provided the dishes and tried to keep them pink and floral for Valentines...or Galentines Day.












I am ready to serve the tea!



One of the teas was a Purple Palmer...kind of like an Arnold Palmer.
I make a mint tea with lavender and butterfly pea blossom, I served it iced.

The ladies had fun preparing the butterfly pea tea...purple palmer.

They started with the mint, lavender, butterfly pea blossom in their cups.  Before the lemonade was added the tea was a nice blueish green color.  Then beside that was the lemonade in a hear ornament.  They poured the lemonade into the tea and it turned a beautiful purple color.



Here are the lovely ladies who participated in the tea.


I had fun setting up the tea table.  I enjoyed using my new "Love is Brewing" garland.  I bought it at MCC in Kidron for $2.50.
This was also the first tea where I was able to use the tea dispenser that my dad made me for Christmas.


I also used my double heart tray.  I found it at MCC too for $3.50.  It pays to search second hand stores for fun finds to dress up a table.


I also set out chocolate spoons that the ladies could put in their tea or chew on.


The first tea I served was Amadeus Blend.  I just had picked it up in Vienna when I was there for a layover.  It is a great chocolate tea!


I also picked Love Potion #9.  It is from Ohio Tea Company.


I also served Raspberry Truffle from Pinky Up.


I also used the new tea dispenser my dad made me for Christmas for the Purple Palmer.


HeBrews did a fantastic job, as always with the food.  
We had blueberry muffins, lemon bars, energy balls, and chocolate chip cookies.


The ladies served themselves tea. 


They picked the order they wanted the tea.  
It always amazing me how everyone likes different teas.
One person's persons favorite was the butterfly pea tea
Two people liked the Raspberry Truffle tea.
One's favorite was the Love Potion #9.
And one's favorite was the Amadeus Blend.
You just never know what people are going to pick as their variety. 
That is why I like to do a variety.


Because it was a smaller group, I added them at the table and we sat and chatted about tea. 








Everyone seemed to have fun with the craft time.


The craft was making Valentine/Galentines Day cards.  Also, then making a bookmark for ourselves.


Noel from Brick and Velvet provided the fun craft.


She is so adorable!  And she did all of this while in pain of having a bulging disc in her back!



You can rent out this Gathering Place room for your events too.




Check out Shreve!  It is such a cute town.









10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
