About Me
So how did this start?
​My name is Funmi Mohlie, and I am from London, UK. I worked in the luxury industry for over 20 years. One of the places I worked at was Harrods, where I got to experience an exquisite afternoon tea. The seed was planted.
​
The whole concept started after my husband, our kids and I moved to Virginia in June of 2020. As we were getting settled and as a way to entertain people, I started hosting British afternoon teas for my friends in our home, and I would call them “mummy and me teas”. Then I received requests to host events for larger groups of people or provide British scones and decor for other people’s events.
Encouraged by my friends and husband, I decided to start a quintessential British afternoon tea company with a twist: bringing the experience to your home or location of choice. Thus, Funmi’s Royal Tea was born.​
