$40/ticket, limited to 35 spots

Join us for an afternoon where history and hospitality meet! Mabry-Hazen House is partnering with The Kraken’s Cup Tearoom for a special class exploring the evolution of tea in society, specifically focusing on the elegance and etiquette of the Gilded Age.

Step into the world of the Hazen family to discover the rituals of the formal parlor, the "At Home" day, and the social expectations of Knoxville’s elite during the late 19th century. This event features a short history lesson followed by a selection of tea and treats in one of the city's most storied settings.
