Once a month, Lauren and her team host authentic English teas—two seatings, limited to thirty guests each, by reservation—which include a house tour. Private teas may also be booked, and all these events feature an amazing array of gourmet sweets and savories served on tables impeccably dressed with Lauren’s lovingly curated collection of antique china, silverware, and linens. To celebrate this amazing woman and all she has accomplished here, her team created a special blend in her honor. Pictured above, Lady Lauren tea—a lighter, fruiter version of Earl Grey, with a hint of lemon zest—is enjoyed by guests at each memorable gathering at this spectacularly restored home.
