Welcome to The Traveling Teapot
About Us
The traveling tearoom that comes to you! You choose the location and guests. I provide everything else – the tea, food, linens, teacups, tableware, silverware, even the soothing music if you like. I will set your table, cater and serve the delicious food, brew and serve the tea, and stay afterwards to do the dishes so you can focus on your guests. I can also host your indoor or outdoor event at my home for a complete pampered experience for you and your guests! Our afternoon tea menu includes delicious finger sandwiches, sweet and savory bites, homemade scones, fresh fruit, fresh-baked pastries, and scrumptious cakes. Food and tea are served using vintage dishes, china, cake stands, towers, and pretty teapots. The Traveling Teapot is available for any occasion – parties, showers, birthdays for little girls, birthdays for girls who are young at heart, get-togethers, hen parties, bridge clubs, gentlemen lunches, business meetings, just because it is a Tuesday, and more!

Hi, I am Bita,
the owner of The Traveling Teapot
I have been a tea enthusiast for many years. My grandmother Billie Louise taught me the joy of sipping a cup of tea, engaging in soft, polite conversation, and enjoying time well-spent with loved ones. She also inspired my love for baking, vintage finds, antiques, and an obsession with aprons! I have been hosting tea parties for many years, and I would love to help you host yours. The Traveling Teapot’s afternoon tea menu is crafted using my family’s southern-inspired recipes. Which I am sure come from their mothers, grandmothers, and their church cookbooks!

The Buzz About Us
I was fortunate to participate in the 2019 Christmas Tea hosted by The Traveling Teapot. Christmas Tea has been a tradition among my friends and I for many years and we cherish it as something special. We have been many different places and The Traveling Teapot is my favorite! Bita created a beautiful, festive, inviting, and fun environment that was at once fancy and comfortable. She transformed the host’s home into a London tearoom with lovely China, teapots, table cloths, and decorations. It was not just a wonderful environment but the food was also amazing. Many of the expensive tea rooms I’ve visited only provide enough food per person for maybe an afternoon snack, but Bita at The Traveling Teapot provided plenty, enough to make the tea into a brunch/lunch option, and maybe even have a delicious scone to take home! Bita was also extremely professional and personable. I would definitely recommend Bita and The Traveling Teapot for any occasion! She made our Christmas Tea a memorable and delicious experience! Thank you, Bita!

I LOVE The Traveling Teapot! Every detail is covered, and the food is delicious...especially the Tomato Basil Soup that is homemade! The teapots and china the food is served on is absolutely gorgeous. You feel like you are in a fancy hotel in England having an afternoon tea. Bita is an excellent host. She is thoughtful and professional. She provides a fun and relaxing afternoon tea experience. I highly recommend The Traveling Teapot for your next afternoon tea party!

We celebrated my daughter Reese’s fourth birthday with The Traveling Teapot, and it was so fun working with such a sweet soul as Bita! This took a huge weight off my shoulders in preparing for the big party with all our guests including Belle herself! If you are needing some yummy treats and some delicious tea, look no further! We were so pleased with The Traveling Teapot and look forward to many more teas in the future!
