Tea for Twenty
Sharon Levy of Lawrenceville brings people of all ages together, over tea.
Sharon likes to work the room. Even when she was an IT project manager for IBM, she knew eventually she’d be using her creative skills to start a good time flowing.
Sharon’s business, offering completely produced tea parties (www.takingtea-instyle.com) for private parties, corporations, fundraisers, perfectly matches her passion.
She brings the tea, cups, biscuits, clotted cream, cloth tablecloths and napkins, and sets the fancy scene anywhere you’d like. For adults, there’s even a presentation about the history of tea. For kids, some as young as three, Sharon teaches table manners as well.
“I just think a lot of kids today don’t have manners,” Sharon told us. From her perspective, learning table etiquette is “all about respect…this is just a stepping stone to other social etiquettes.”
Recently, Sharon’s company presented Tea Time For Tots at the lovely Grounds For Sculpture (www.groundsforsculpture.org) in Hamilton, teaching tea brewing and table manners to five and six year olds. This weekend, she’s doing a tea party as a private 80th birthday party surprise. On Friday the 17th, it’s high tea at the Trenton Club (www.trentonclub.org).
Sharon helps you find a little bit of civility and sanity in a porcelain cup. There’s nothing like a spot of tea, poured, held and sipped correctly, to make you believe in Sharon’s Wonderland.
