SO LOVELY!

Just watched this from start to end! What an amazing video from the production, the teaware aesthetics and your nature made this enjoyable enough to sit back and consume. I have only been to afternoon tea once at a hotel years ago it was a delight and I would love to go again. Keep them coming!

[@nikitaamerie]

Thankyou Steph! It’s such a great thing to do for your birthday or any special occasion. Thanks for watching!

So gracefully planned your videos are 🙏🏽

[@nikitaamerie]

Thankyou so much !

So happy you made this. Many people are confused about Afternoon tea vs "High tea" - just the opposite of what one would think; how to stir without clanging one's spoon, and the three tiers - what should be where and why. All about the palate. Rather than restricting, I think you've made this intimate event with friends even more enjoyable, the purpose of tea, after all.

[@nikitaamerie]

Thankyou for your kind words, it is a common mix up but they could not be more different.

@@nikitaamerie please make some more like these. Thanks again.

Perfect timing, very enjoyable video. Looking forward to more afternoon tea content. Also your tea set collection. ❤

[@nikitaamerie]

That’s great! Glad to hear you enjoyed. 🥰🫖☕️

Thanks Connie! I love my tea ☕️ ✨🌺 hope you had a nice weekend

[@vanessachilwick1072]

That’s your new fortnum and mason teaware it looks lovely. Thanks for the video

[@nikitaamerie]

Yes I love it. Makes me feel elegant and like I’m having afternoon tea at a hotel but at home. Thanks for dropping by again! 🌺❤️

[@user-cm9gi9nb6c]

I love your fortnum and mason teaware, I live in the united states and can't get that tear, but maybe when I visit england one day, that set is in on my wishlist ❤

[@nikitaamerie]

Oh Ashley! I think that is such a great reason to visit the uk for some of its exclusive teaware. I’m oringinally from Australia and I couldn’t find many brands over there without a big hassle. It will be amazing when you get to see fortnum and mason for the first time. It’s a jaw dropping experience. ✨🌹

@@nikitaamerie I can't wait to see all of the UK it is going to be amazing, I just love your channel so much ❤

Thank you for sharing this amazing video , me and my husband are fun of having tea in a five star hotels and restaurant , anywhere in UK ,, I am glad I did what's on your video ... well done👍 cheers. 🥂

[@nikitaamerie]

My pleasure, there’s so many places to have tea hope you have a good time!

[@Englishroserebecca]

Lovely video. Just a small point when putting the jam and cream on the scone the scone should be left on the plate while applying cream and jam not held mid air. Beautiful crockery. ❤

[@nikitaamerie]

Yes correct! That is the true eloquent way of handling a scone. I only just picked up on that very tip recently. Thanks for watching.

[@AltheaJones-po7nz]

As a female I have been collecting bags since I was 18 years old

[@Englishroserebecca]

Sorry to sound picky but the scone shouldn’t have the cream and jam applied to it in mid air. The scone stays on the plate while you spread the jam and cream.

[@Englishroserebecca]

Oh sorry I mentioned that before a few months ago I forgot I watched video before 😂😂

[@marilynnjefferson8525]

Lovely video in many ways. However, when seated at a low table it might be more refined not to cross one’s knees as this puts the knees at table level and very much in view of other guests.

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

It's a very enjoyably video. Unfortunately, it's hard to find a decent loose tea leaves in US.

[@nikitaamerie]

Thankyou! I had no idea that it was difficult, where do you usually shop for tea leaves? At markets, supermarkets, online?

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

@@nikitaamerie A good question, I usually looks for some small stores specializing in a food for specific regions, for example Iran.

[@penelopepitstop762]

@@kamertonaudiophileplayer847 My husband is Iranian. You can find lots of good tea in any Middle Eastern or "Mediterranean" store.

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

@@penelopepitstop762 Thanks for the tip.

[@reneecrotty6910]

I think once you order champagne with it, it is now called Royal Tea not Afternoon tea? I’m not sure!

[@nikitaamerie]

Correct, you would usually start with one glass and then they will bring out the proceeding hot tea once you are done but it’s not really a huge part or afternoon tea just the beginning.

[@aliciascavo340]

im not a ma'me im a sir thanks

[@nikitaamerie]

What?

[@josephcollins6033]

Nice, but rather "sexist". Actually, I deplore the sexist junk and all WOKE silliness. But, if I made this nice video and only included men's attire...oh, my!!

[@nikitaamerie]

Well from a perspective of a women this is what I can relate to however for a male you could also wear a blazer to afternoon tea with a shirt and trousers, hope that helps!

[@josephcollins6033]

@@nikitaamerie Hi, and how very kind of you. I plan to take a really nice blazer. Not taking much on this trip, so a nice pair of jeans and nice shirt will have to do it. I think it will be fine, but it won't look as great as you!

[@nikitaamerie]

@josephcollins6033 I hope you have a wonderful time. Afternoon tea is so enjoyable!
