Your In House Afternoon Tea Service
About Us
Ti-BonBon, which takes its name from the Creole term for "small treats," is the embodiment of the playful and indulgent mealtime that is afternoon tea. We take great pleasure in offering a delightful experience that is rooted in tradition while incorporating unique fruit refreshers and international flavors that are expertly crafted to tantalize the taste buds.
At Ti-BonBon, we take pride in specializing in intimate gatherings of two to ten guests, where we offer two unique experiences - "A la Maison" and "Dans le Jardin." The former is a perfect choice for those seeking a cozy and intimate at-home gathering, while the latter is a charming picnic-themed afternoon tea that replaces traditional tea with champagne.
To ensure a personalized experience for each client, we customize the setting based on their unique taste, including dining wear, linen, and floral arrangements. Our unwavering focus on exceptional service means that every guest is treated to an unforgettable afternoon tea experience that is tailored to their preferences.
What is Afternoon Tea
Traditional Afternoon Tea is a British culinary ritual that typically involves the consumption of tea, finger sandwiches, scones, and a selection of bite-sized sweet treats. It originated in the 19th century as a social activity for the upper classes, who would enjoy a light meal with friends and acquaintances in the late afternoon. Today, it is still enjoyed as an indulgent and sophisticated treat, often served in hotels, restaurants, and tea rooms across the UK and worldwide. The selection of sandwiches, scones, and sweets may vary depending on the establishment, but the essence of the tradition remains the same – a chance to relax and catch up with friends over a cup of tea and some delicious treats.
Tea Sandwiches
Our guests will enjoy a delicious assortment of sandwiches, with two pieces of each delectable flavor. The savory choices include smoked salmon, garlic aioli with capers, and a refreshing English cucumber and dill sandwich. For those who prefer heartier options, we have fluffy egg sandwiches infused with the scent of parsley, served on a slice of scrumptious purple sweet potato bread that will leave your taste buds tingling with pleasure.
Savory Pastries
Enjoy a mouth-watering assortment of two delectable pastries that have been thoughtfully selected to captivate your taste buds. Our scrumptious options consist of a smoked herring quiche that has been perfectly seasoned with Epis Lakay, offering a flavorful experience, and a savory beef puff pastry pate that is equally tantalizing, infused with the same tantalizing Epis Lakay seasoning. With each delightful bite, relish in the bold flavors and flaky texture that will take you on a culinary adventure, leaving you yearning for more.
Scones and Preserves
Our guests are in for a treat with our freshly baked scones. Each scone is crafted to perfection with a buttery and flaky texture that will simply melt in your mouth. You can enjoy a traditional scone paired with a fruit scone that contains succulent fruits. To enhance the flavors of each scone, we recommend the classic pairing of preserves and cream. It's a delightful indulgence that will take your taste buds to new heights.
