XAVIA'S CLASSROOM

Join us for our virtual tea time and bring your scones, cucumber sandwiches, cakes, and a cuppa! This is a social club for those that love tea and want to interact, talk about your latest book or adventures, and just relax. If you want to dress up, please do (although this is not required)! Leave your electronics at the door, and immerse yourself in the serenity of this beautiful custom. Come and share your recipes, love of all things tea, and join in this timeless tradition. Here are some fun facts about tea time:

​

• Pinkies In! - Did you know that while drinking tea, it's actually proper to keep the pinky down. It seems that someone, somewhere, started the notion that raising the pinky helps to balance the cup, but this is not so. Just a little fun fact!

• Share Recipes! Each week we introduce something new, whether that is a new scone recipe, various finger foods, and your favorite teas that you like. 

• Savor the moment! The day is full of commitments, busy moments, and multitaskings. Tea Time is a space where you can relax, unwind, and savor in a leisurely manner. This is a chance to de-stress in the middle of the day and let go. So, savor the moment!

• Stirring the Tea - did you know that there is a proper way to stir tea?! Instead of going around and around in circles, it is recommended to stir up and down. This stir goes in a 6-12 position so that the spoon does not clang against the cup. Another little fun fact!

• Reasons for Drinking Tea - did you know that tea is actually good for you? According to Harvard University, drinking 2-3 cups of tea per day can reduce premature death, heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Just make sure that the tea isn't too hot when you consume it, as this may cause other issues.

• Another reason for drinking tea is that it may boost your immune system and fight off inflammation. Tea contains polyphenols, which may help improve digestion, brain function, and blood sugar levels. Who knew tea could be so beneficial!

Class Rules

• Be kind and respectful to each other, even if you disagree

• Allow others to have an opinion! Everyone is different, and we all have different backgrounds. It's okay if someone respectfully has another way of seeing things

• No foul or combative language allowed. Foul and/or combative language, including excluding others, ignoring others, and/or unkindness of any kind is immediate grounds for dismissal

• Strive to include! Everyone wants to be heard, and this is supposed to be a safe space that allows all to fumble forward with grace and ease

• Focus on what you have in common and what you love!

• Let's share turns! Give others a chance to talk

• Above all else, HAVE FUN! This is a great way to make friends and celebrate our love of Tea Time!
