What to Order for an Afternoon Tea Fundraiser
Hosting an afternoon tea-themed fundraiser requires a thorough selection of teas and delectables to give your donors plenty of choices. Here are a few items from Mom’s Pantry that we think will suit your tea-themed fundraiser perfectly, from tea leaves to tart shells:
Bigelow Tea
If you’re throwing an afternoon tea-themed fundraiser, it’s only right to start with the star of the show! Mom’s Olde Tea Shoppe features a wide range of Bigelow Tea. While there are plenty of herbal and black tea blends to choose from, our best options for more traditional afternoon tea include:
Earl Grey: A classic served during afternoon tea! The natural bergamot oil in this blend offers a lovely taste and aroma and is a versatile pairing for sweet and savoury tea snacks.
Lemon Lift: For tea lovers who don’t take milk, lemon is a perfect alternative! A hint of spice elevates this blend to round out the tartness of the lemon and the strong flavour of the tea leaves.
Assorted Green Tea Variety Pack: Green tea is an afternoon tea staple! But don’t make your donors choose between just one flavour—the variety pack includes must-taste flavours like mint, peach, and orange!
Pie & Tart Shells
If your donors want to do afternoon tea correctly, they’ll need a selection of sweet and savoury treats! Our pie and tart shells can be used to make traditional tea snacks like lemon curd tarts and steak pies.
Pie & Cream Fillings
What’s a pie or tart shell without the filling? In the Baking Supplies section of our catalogue, you can select raspberry pie filling, lemon pie filling, and Venetian creme filling.
For savoury pies, you can include beef gravy, beef soup base, and cream of mushroom soup base to make preparing the meat pie fillings easier for your donors!
Croissants
While croissants aren’t traditionally served for English afternoon tea, they’ve become a more popular addition in recent years and can be used for the sweet and savoury portions of the service.
In addition to our standard butter and chocolate croissants, we also offer a line-up of savoury croissants. You can find the following flavours in our Ready-To-Bake section:
- Bacon & Egg
- Spinach & Ricotta
- Ham & Swiss
