Planning a special celebration for mom this Mother’s Day? Why not create a memorable high tea experience at home with local delicacies mom will love. Add a touch of elegance with the Kintsugi teapot set by Nicolson Russell – the epitome of class.

High tea essentials include finger snacks and sweet treats like scones with clotted cream and mini sandwiches. But what if we added some of our own local flair to the mix? This could turn into a very memorable occasion for the whole family!

What to serve at high tea?

Some of the most popular food items served at high tea include:

• finger sandwiches with different fillings.
• scones with jam and cream or butter.
• sweet delicacies like doughnuts, macarons, chocolate eclairs and vanilla slices

Add your own South African twist with local favourites including:

• Koeksisters
• Milk tart
• Hertzogies
• Buttermilk rusks

However, without the right utensils to add to the overall ambience, the day will certainly not be complete.

Invest in a quality tea set that you can easily whip out on special occasions like Mother’s Day! How beautiful is this Kintsugi Teapot set from Nicolson Russell – available in black or white.

Add a playful twist to your teatime celebrations with this teapot set inspired by the Japanese process called Kintsugi, in which broken pottery is put back together with golden lacquer.

What to expect:

• Teapot with 4 cups and a wooden serving board
• Each item is hand-painted with a real gold finish
• Makes a great gift for a tea lover
