Testimonials
Lyndsay Jones, VA
I hosted a British Tea Party at my home for my clients and friends. Funmi came highly recommended and she did not disappoint. She arrived timely and brought every item imaginable to bring together a wonderful tea party. Im from England so have high standards when it comes to serving tea and Funmi exceeded them! Her tea was very high quality and choices were plentiful. My clients absolutely loved it and raved about the whole experience. I highly recommend Funmi and her tea services!
Liz Shumate, VA
Funmi, the owner of Funmi's Royal Tea (Operated by Caeruleum, LLC) worked with me every step of the way to plan my mother’s surprise 70th birthday tea party. She makes it so easy. I picked out all of the tea options and food options, which were delicious! Then I told Funmi I wanted a rose/peach theme and she matched all of the linens and china. It all came together for what was a tea party that my family will always remember, especially my mom. Funmi is so knowledgeable about the teas and the history of tea service, listening to her discuss some of the fun quirks such as do you put clotted cream on the scone first or do you put the jam on first (clotted cream being the only answer!) made the experience all the more enjoyable! I cannot say enough great things about Funmi and Caeruleum, LLC! If you are thinking of having a tea party or hot chocolate party, or even thinking of utilizing this for a larger scale event, do not hesitate to book Caeruleum, LLC! It truly was the perfect day all thanks to Funmi!!
