T H E WA N T LI S T TAKE TEA IN STYLE! 1 ALICE TEA INFUSER £6 It’s always tea time in Wonderland – and with this mini Alice infuser, you can always be in Wonderland at tea time! Unlike Alice, though, it’s unlikely you’ll have any Mad Hatters, March Hares or sleepy dormice to contend with. Nab one from Whittard of Chelsea in Cheltenham or Witney. ✱ whittard.co.uk 2 DEE HARDWICKE FOR THE NATIONAL TRUST GLASSHOUSE CAKE FORKS £12 The design on these forks was inspired by some of the flowers and foliage that flourish in the National Trust’s glasshouses around the country. Fancy, eh? You can find them at National Trust shops, including at Chedworth Roman Villa near Cheltenham, or order online. ✱ nationaltrust.org.uk 3 PIP STUDIO SPRING TO LIFE TWO-TIER CAKE STAND £20 Nothing says ‘afternoon tea’ quite like a cake stand laden with treats. But even when they’ve all been eaten, this little number is so gorgeous you’ll still want to keep it on the table. Hunt one down at John Lewis in Swindon or Bristol. ✱ johnlewis.com 4 ASHDOWN ROSE CUP AND SAUCER £16 Sure, tea from a mug is fine, but to be truly elegant you’ll need a proper cup and saucer. With this uber-cute floral printed set, tea time has never been so pretty. Get yours from Cath Kidston in Cheltenham or Oxford. ✱ cathkidston.com 5 PINK LUSCIOUS TEAPOT £84 There’s nothing quite like tea made properly in a proper teapot!
