Afternoon Tea Etiquette rules

#1: KEEP PHONES OFF THE TABLE

Phones, glasses, pocketbooks, and any other personal items shouldn’t be kept on the table. Instead, place them on your chair to the left or right.

#2: KEEP YOUR PINKIE FINGER DOWN

If they do it in the movies it has to be right, right? Not quite, the proper way to hold a teacup is to hold the handle with the pinkie finger down, not up.

#3: HOLD THE TEACUP BY THE HANDLE

Don’t cup your hands around the teacup like you would with hot chocolate. The teacup should only be held by the handle with the pinkie finger down.

#4: STIR UP AND DOWN, NOT IN CIRCLES

This is an often forgotten rule that not a lot of people know. However, you should mix your tea by moving the teaspoon up and down across the cup being sure not to clang or touch the sides.

#5: REMOVE THE TEASPOON BEFORE YOU DRINK

Great, you stirred your tea! Now it’s time to put your teaspoon down on the saucer and drink your tea.

#6: DON’T PUT THE TEASPOON IN YOUR MOUTH

While smaller spoons are referred to as teaspoons, when you’re at Afternoon Tea the teaspoon is only for stirring tea.

#7: KEEP THE SAUCER ON THE TABLE

When you are sitting at the table you don’t need to lift up the saucer to drink from the cup. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use the saucer. For instance, if you’re moving to another table or standing up then you should use the saucer.

#8: DON’T BLOW ON THE TEA TO COOL IT DOWN

Patience is a virtue, let the tea cool on the table if it’s too hot. In the meantime, snack on some of those fresh baked goods or delicious finger sandwiches.

#9: TAKE SMALL SIPS OF TEA

Everyone knows this one, but you don’t slurp your tea! A common etiquette rule is doing things quietly and taking small, quiet sips is one of them.

#10: USE THE MILK AND SUGAR ONLY FOR BLACK TEA

With so many tea choices from Teakoe, it’s important to only use milk and sugar with black tea.

Official Concept Art - Oli Williams

The amazing and incredibly talented Milk Teako and I have collaborated to make some official concept art for the RO’s-- this is the first of three posts! 

Also, please show some love to Milk Teako because as we were discussing the designs, she seemed to read my mind!!! Her art is amazing and she just makes me speechless every time!!!!

Below is the canonical description of Oliver and Olivia Williams. 

Above: Oliver Williams

Below: Olivia Williams

Commonalities in appearance: 

Pale, very pale skin (You can see it in the colour palette used in Oliver’s drawing)

Lean but muscular (their occupation is a cop, so they do have to be up to a certain level physically)

Deep set slate blue eyes

Loves swearing baggy, pastel coloured clothes. Dark colours matched with light colours is another thing they like wearing a bunch. Fashion style of choice is Art Hoe. They still like to look a little tidy and organized, though.

Differences in appearance:

Oliver has a cleft chin while Olivia has a rounded one.

Oliver’s eyes are more deep set than Olivia’s.

Oliver’s hair is more curly, and they let their bangs fall over their forehead, without really paying much attention to the way they look. Olivia usually has her hair up in a high pony to look more professional, but her bangs still spill across their face.

Oliver is shorter, but more thickly built

Thank you again to Milk Teako, you’re amazing!!! Hope this helps put a face to the name!!
