High tea parties are a great excuse for turning an everyday pleasure into a special event. Just add your favorite friends, some sweet and savory treats and your favorite blend of tea, and you have a recipe for a delightful afternoon.
But of course, when it comes to these teetotaler get togethers, it’s all about presentation—which is why you also need the perfect set to serve up your earl grey and blueberry scones.
Of course, not everyone takes their tea the same way. And we also understand that not everyone likes to serve it the same way either. That’s why our curated collection of tea gift sets runs the range from modern to traditional and even the exotic.
And, of course, no tea party is complete without a few extra goodies. That’s why we’ve included some best selling tea blends and some delicious bites to go with them.
With a little something for everyone and a few surprising additions, we think you’ll find a set that is literally just your Cup of tea. Let’s take a look.

Modern
These tea sets put a more modern spin on pots, cups and saucers that will bring your party into the 21st century. In other words, this is not your grandma’s approach to high tea!
1. Bee-uitful Tea Collection
This gorgeous tea collection is a tribute to our favorite pollinators. It features a genuine gold honeycomb pattern that will make herbal tea in the garden an even more bee-utiful experience, although it’s great for black tea too! This set comes with a teapot, 4 cups, a creamer and a sugar bowl.
We think your guests will be buzzing with delight!
2. A Floral Twist
Nothing says high tea like a floral patterned tea set. We like the larger flower pattern of this bone china set and the glass teapot, which gives it a slightly more modern edge. And gold rims and handles on the cups always add a touch of elegance. Throw in some flowering tea, and you’ll have the ultimate floral experience.
The heat resistant borosilicate glass pot comes with a removable tea infuser and strainer. Also included are the cups, saucers and spoons in various quantities depending on your needs. The only downside is that the rack is not included.
Still, your high tea table will look utterly gorgeous with this set.
3. Mad for Tea Parties
If you’re really crazy about tea parties, you’ll love this Alice in Wonderland-inspired teapot, cups, sugar and creamer. Decorated with the drawings of the book’s famous characters, they’ll bring a whimsical touch to your tea party.
Although they don’t come as a complete set, each piece can be purchased separately at Williams Sonoma. Your guests will be smiling like Cheshire cats!
4. Porcelain Polka Dots
Elaborate floral patterns and scroll work not exactly your thing? We have you covered. This playful 9-piece set featuring polka dots and stripes will bring an air of casual fun to your tea party.
Included are the tea pot, 4 cups and 4 saucers made of fine porcelain. It’s pretty without being stuffy!
5. Starry, Starry Tea Cups
Want to add a stroke of genius to your tea party? Each one of these tea cups is inspired by one of Van Gogh’s famous paintings and also includes a saucer and spoon. Choose from Starry Night, Irises, Cafe Terrace, Almond Blossoms, Sunflowers or the Sower.
It’s high tea meets high art!
