Step back in time as Eliza Vincz-Lichack recreates a colonial-era afternoon tea in Durand-Hedden's eighteenth-century kitchen.

Learn why tea was such a hot commodity, spill the tea, and swap biscuit and sweets recipes as you enjoy this engaging demonstration.
Xiuqin "Qin" Zhai will lead visitors in a Chinese tea demonstration and tasting. This unique event will honor Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. She will be assisted by Susan Li.
