Scott Kessman

For many in the Raleigh, Cary, Apex, and surrounding areas, afternoon tea is more than just a hot cup of tea on a warm or cold afternoon. It's a time to gather with friends or family and enjoy the English tradition of afternoon tea with more substantial, delicious fare and delightful conversation.

Afternoon tea can be enjoyed with any of the wonderful bouquet of flavors available, from fruitful florals to energizing herbals, comforting black teas such as Earl Grey and the spicy concoctions like Chai or Orange Spice, and the many red, white and green teas.

The Lucky Teapot Traveling Tea Parties keeps the English tradition of afternoon tea in Raleigh alive and well, serving an assortment of high-quality flavors of tea along with a three-tiered platter of traditional scones, tea sandwiches, and other delectable treats. But what makes The Lucky Teapot stand out from other tearooms in North Carolina is that it is not a tea room at all-rather, it brings the tea room directly to you, or a location of your choosing, so that you can truly enjoy afternoon tea at your leisure in comfortable surroundings without the interference of other noisy patrons, waiting for service to return to your table, or a menu that doesn't quite measure up.

The Lucky Teapot focuses 100% of its attention on you and your guests, to ensure a memorable afternoon tea in Raleigh like no other. After all, afternoon tea, regardless of its location, be it Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Chapel Hill, or Holly Springs, should always be a delightful social occasion that fosters relaxation, comfort, laughter, and friendship.

The Lucky Teapot Traveling Tea Parties strives to provide an afternoon tea in Raleigh that is more like a step back in time. It is a reason for a woman to wear a hat, or for best friends to enjoy a rainy afternoon sipping tea by the fire. Afternoon tea can also introduce children to something new, to entertain visiting family or friends, or it can just be something different to do with the people in your gardening club or your book club.

Regardless of the occasion, The Lucky Teapot Traveling Tea Parties likes to always think of tea as an opportunity to enjoy good company, special friendships, and a bit of food--essentially, a chance to have a wonderful time!
