Hot Dining: Tea Time on the Urban Tea Merchant’s Patio

Summertime means teatime. At The Urban Tea Merchant, cool off on the patio with iced teas, tea sangrias or tea-infused cocktails—a Pink Flamingo Cosmopolitan, perhaps, or a Morroccan Mint Mojito. To host your own tea party at home, pick up a TWG Tea Summer Hamper ($250 and up; pictured), which includes Vogue teacups and saucers, made out of porcelain and hand-painted, and celebrate teatime in style. The Mad Hatter would approve.—Sheri Radford
