About tea etiquette. I’m going to attend a formal tea at the Four Seasons in Boston and I want to know how to hold a teacup properly. Also, where do I put the spoon and do I stick my pinky out or keep it in? Please help.

–Cassandra, Cambridge, MA

To learn proper tea etiquette, including how to hold a teacup properly, nobody does it better than the British etiquette expert William Hanson. Watch his YouTube videos about ‘How to hold a teacup and stir your tea properly’ where Mr. Hanson demonstrates how to hold the teacup properly, how to stir your tea, where to place your spoon and where to gaze your eyes while sipping your tea, and much more. It is a hoot. You must watch him demonstrating tea etiquette.
