There is nothing like settling down with a hot cup of tea and a good book– or whatever may be your fancy. If you’re dating someone who is very into her tea-time, here are three ideas on how to propose!

1. Loose Leaf. Tea bags don’t compare to using a diffuser or tea-ball for making tea with loose leaves. Pick up some excellent tea from an online store or your local tea shop and put your own label over the original. It doesn’t have to say, “Will You Marry Me?” but it can say something like, “look up” or “tea-fully yours.” Use this opportunity to build up to the big moment. Want to make it extra special? Find a tea store that will let you make your own mix. You can make her own lavender early grey– or whatever she may like– for the special moment.

2. Tea Party for Two. Buy your girl some macaroons and pull out the china (or perhaps borrowed china). Have a book for her to look at (a LoveBook, perhaps) or talk to her about how you’d love to have tea parties with her (no matter how girly they might be in your mind) and find the moment to propose.

3. Tea Set. Antique tea sets mean the world to a tea-lover. Even if it’s not antique and you buy her first set of teacups for her, it’s a win. There’s nothing like already planning a tea-party bridal shower in your head (for your best friend to throw, of course).
