About Us
London with Love, to the Heart of Richmond
I am Funmi Mohlie, from London, UK.
​
"The ritual of afternoon tea is more than just fine china and finger sandwiches; it is the quintessentially British art of slowing down to connect. After moving to Virginia in 2020, I realized that while the 'tea room' was a destination, the true magic happened in the privacy of the home. What started as 'Mummy and Me' teas for friends blossomed into Funmi’s Royal Tea—a mission to bring that same intimate, 5-star London elegance to your doorstep.
With a background rooted in the high-standards of London’s luxury industry—including time spent at the world-renowned Harrods—I bring a meticulous eye for detail to every event. From loose-leaf teas to the authentic British scone (is it clotted cream first?), every element of our service is an invitation to experience a piece of my heritage.​
​
We believe you should be a guest at your own party. Whether it is a whimsical 'Mini Royal' tea for a child’s birthday or a sophisticated garden bridal shower, we handle the heavy lifting. We arrive with the china, we serve with grace, and we leave your home exactly as we found it—except for the lingering scent of Earl Grey and the glow of a memory well-made. So sit back and enjoy the luxury of hosting your own tea party with ease."
