Are you a fan of white or are you going for green these days? Fresh, with a sprig of mint or a good-old bag? Then you are in the right place with the new tea trend. Because trend watchers predict that the Vintage Tea Party will be a hit in 2022. That means sitting for hours with your friends at a nicely set table, with homemade cake, cookies and sandwiches. Tea cups with a saucer, a bunch of flowers, one. tablecloth, and milk from a pitcher. And of course you have to chat about something during the vintage tea party. That is why Santé has listed a few tea facts for you. Cupa time!

And of course you get the best tea with a tea strainer and loose tea. One of our readers pointed this out to us. "Only loose leaf tea. Not that grit in a bag.'
