Past Tea Times

It started with three strangers at a tea table. Now look at us. The Chicago Afternoon Tea Society has grown into a community of people who believe that gathering matters, that beautiful experiences are for everyone, and that some of the best conversations happen over a perfectly steeped cup. This gallery is our story — told one beautiful moment at a time.
