As future creators and servers of the much-loved institution of afternoon tea in hotels and restaurants, hospitality and catering school students are fascinated to learn the history and etiquette surrounding tea drinking and the enjoyment of afternoon tea. World of Afternoon Tea offers in-person or Zoom talks on the topic and encourages a lively Q&A.
“The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone was honored to host Gillian Perry and World of Afternoon Tea. Ms. Perry regaled our culinary students with anecdotes about the history of tea, as well as the etiquette and mystique surrounding the tradition. She was engaging, entertaining and enlightening. We would love to have her pay us a return visit.”
