The Friends and Family Tea Party is free and open to the public. Along with tea for the guests a variety of authentic English tea treats will be served. The featured guest will be Sue Erickson, author of “Tea with the King.” Erickson will be discussing how to make the perfect pot of tea, answering questions and reading from her book.

Erickson is a native of San Francisco. She attended San Jose State College. Since then, she has worked for a variety of companies including a college publisher, a book fair company, Sunset Magazine and the University of the Pacific as assistant to the dean of the Benerd School of Education. Her fascination with tea began when she once hosted an afternoon tea for all the school staff and offered occasional afternoon tea breaks, serving tea and treats for the staff.
