Madam Sissieretta taught young girls etiquette while having tea. She felt it important for young girls to be taught etiquette at a very early age. It was to teach
then the decorum of the times. They would need to learn early what was
proper and how to present themselves in public. It was very important
for a young lady to show she had proper upbringing and she was ready for
society life. Having tea was a good way for young ladies to socialize,
so it was important to know proper etiquette or manners at the tea
table. Having tea was not to just sitting and drinking tea, It was the
whole performance
of the taking of tea while declaring their
position in life.
Etiquette and the art of taking tea has died down
though the years. But not let it be said, that it is not needed. It needs to be kept alive for our young generation of today.
At the tea, Lady Estelle will hold a small demonstration of some of these tea etiquette to a group of girls for your entertainment..
