**On Friday, May 8, from 2-5 PM, we’ll be hosting a special tea blending demonstration and tasting by local tea purveyor Sweeta’s Teas. Owner Freda Keller has selected four custom teas for guests to choose from, with optional additions for the perfect custom blend. Tea Boxes served during the demonstration will include two servings of Sweeta’s Tea. Throughout the remainder of the weekend, tea boxes will be served with the café’s regular selection of artisanal teas from Tea Forté.
Finally, browse the Muscarelle Museum Store — with a selection of scarves, jewelry, books, art-making materials and other unique art-inspired items, you’re sure to find the perfect Mother’s Day gift.
We highly recommend pre-ordering your Tea for Two Box online to guarantee your reservation. Additional boxes will be available for purchase on site, but are first-come, first-served.
