The Owner, LisaRenee Chin

For more than two decades, I have been hosting gatherings. Initially, it was a time for my girlfriends to come together and catch up with each other’s lives and enjoy a simple menu of cakes accompanied by coffee and tea.

After hosting a formal tea party for my grandmother and her friends, I found that I enjoyed the process; from the invitations and menu planning, to the tablescape and themed gifts. In the years that followed, I visited tearooms and restaurants for Afternoon Tea and began hosting tea parties for family and friends. As a result of hosting these parties, my interest and love for tea grew and I began to study the complexities of the tea plant (Camellia Sinensis) as well as the history and protocol for serving tea. I realized that the elegant atmosphere for a traditional or contemporary Tea service could be replicated in the comfort of one's home, as it once was, with a menu to complement any budget.

Although I take pleasure in hosting, I admit it can be difficult to relax and enjoy yourself, your guests, or your lovely cup of tea when you are going back and forth to the kitchen for food and fresh pots of tea. It was this dilemma, coupled with my love of tea and hosting that Ashby Theodora, Tea Hostess and Consulting Company was born.
