Movies about Tea party

It is still very possible to begin an adventure all while staying indoors! For many of us, the best way we can contribute to preventing the spread of COVID-19 in our communities is to simply stay home. Watch an uplifting film as you sip on your warm afternoon tea or herbal evening blend of rooibos or tisane. Invite a friend to watch the same film as you and enjoy a conversation over a video-call to discuss it! As we take some time to “social distance,” it is important to stay connected. Thankfully, with modern technology we are able to stay in contact with many people and still enjoy meaningful conversations even though we cannot meet face to face. Until we can, enjoy some films on our list!

Named for Paddington Station, this little bear with a big heart is in search of a family in London. The Brown family takes him in, but they must teach him manners, like how to refrain from drinking tea directly from the spout! Some of our favorite scenes are the scene at a small tearoom where Paddington Bear meets Mr. Brown for the first time, the scene with the tea train, and the very charming tea scene with the Buckingham palace guard. Starring Hugh Bonneville from Downton Abbey, this is a charming film for the entire family to enjoy.

Available on iTunes, Vulu, and Amazon Prime.

There will always be an endless debate among tea drinkers about which Darcy is the true Darcy, but thankfully there are two solid film adaptations of this book (1995 and 2005) that will help you generate plenty of hearty dialogue on the topic over tea.

Elizabeth Bennet’s and Mr. Darcy’s assumptions and pride get the better of them in this tale of satire, prudence, and wit set in the Regency era. The films display exemplary character design by Jane Austen, embodying her famous opening line from the book throughout its entirety: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” This story naturally has a happy ending, but not without its moments of folly and scandal that allow its characters to prove their nobility and civility through it all.
Look for moments with tea throughout both adaptations, especially when Elizabeth Bennet visits Rosings Park and must dine with the extravagant and superfluously esteemed Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Which film version is your favorite?

Both versions are available on multiple streaming platforms.

With two adaptations, one from BBC in 1988 and the latest version made in 2005, this is a tale about fighting for the good when there is an overwhelming evil surrounding your circumstances. The Pevensie siblings step up to the challenge and enjoy tea with Mr. and Mrs. Beaver (and even Mr. Tumnus along the way!). This story not only serves a few warm cups of tea in some cozy scenes, but helps us understand what true courage is in the midst of chaos, emphasizing the importance of continuing the journey together.

BBC version available on DVD on Amazon.
2005 version on various streaming platforms.

Gandalf, Frodo, and even Bilbo, share tea at the beginning of their big adventures, proving that all matters of great importance must be discussed over a warm brew. Tolkien’s stories illustrate that when we are in the midst of difficult times, the camaraderie and encouragement of a friend can help. The strength of director Peter Jackson is his ability to go between very small, relational, close-up moments to large-scale epic scenes to show Tolkien’s story. Which series do you like better? The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings?

[column large=”8″ last=”true”]

Babette, a Parisian refugee, is sent to live in a Danish town and is able to display courtesy, kindness, and love to her neighbors despite speaking a different language and living in a different culture than she is used to. Though there is no afternoon tea in this film, the spirit of it is present by highlighting the importance of Beauty and Grace contrasted with a meager, miserly, self-satisfied approach to life. A lovely, deeply meaningful movie (in Danish with subtitles). We highly recommend it!

Magic, mayhem, and mischief riddle this third installment of the film adaptations of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series. Harry’s quest to discover the truth of his past continues as he is haunted by the mysterious Sirius Black who, it seems, will stop at nothing to find him in alliance with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. There are moments with teacups and teapots throughout the series. In this entry, look for a particularly fun few scenes in the divination class when the students are taught to “read their future” by the quirky professor Sybill Trelawny who is easily alarmed and makes predictions all too readily. This film is full of twists and turns, but most importantly, it carries the theme of camaraderie with an emphasis on the magic of friends that eventually become family.

[column large=”8″ last=”true”]

Emma is a story that contrasts self importance with a genuine serving spirit. A young idealist who is convinced she has a knack for matchmaking has some successes and blunders in this hearty Jane Austen classic. With several film adaptations, the tale brings forth the idea of true Civility and Gentility as opposed to surface-level superiority. Emma grows and changes as she lets go of her self importance in a series of unexpected circumstances. With tea and picnics scattered throughout this lighthearted romance, Jane Austen’s characters often meet up to share tea and elevate their relationships. Look for lavish and colorful teatime treats in the latest film adaptation that was released this year. Did you see it?

Tea and company can easily invite laughter, as demonstrated by the very hospitable Uncle Albert in Mary Poppins! How important it is to find joy in the little moments in our day and age, especially now! Laughter is good for the soul, as Uncle Albert knew; laughter lifts us, often off of our feet, so that we may have a lovely afternoon tea on the ceiling in our homes. Let’s “Love to Laugh” together as we drink tea with Mary Poppins in this classic film.

Královská řeč

[column large=”8″ last=”true”]

A film that inspires victory when surrounded by darkness is a welcomed theme in light of our current circumstances! During WWII, King George VI led his people during some of the most challenging days England had ever seen, all while struggling with stammering speech. Look for a spot of tea in “The King’s Speech” when Bertie (King George) and Lionel Logue share tea during his therapeutic visits to tend to the king’s speech challenges. This film is a story about overcoming difficulty with great effort and living up to duty when one must. It illustrates how traversing difficulties with the support of someone we love can help carry us through immense struggles, just as King George’s wife Elizabeth did for him. It reminds us of hope when there seems to be none.

We advise parents to review the rating, as this movie’s language may not be appropriate for all children.

The Best Tea Scenes In Movies For You To Drink Along To

Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world after water. In the United States alone, it can be found in near to 80% of households. And on any given day, close to 159 million Americans are drinking tea. It may come as a shock, given the apparent dominance of coffee in not just films and TV but society in general. Tea has been apart of several famous films and scenes, some of which include Mary Poppins, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Get Out and even Bronson. Below is a list of ten films for all you tea-lovers out there.

Paddington (2014)

This lost Peruvian bear turned English gent has been a household name in the UK since his debut in the late 1950s. While sitting on a suitcase in a train station wearing a note that reads, “Please look after this bear. Thank you”, Paddington is taken in by the well-to-do Brown family who attempt to smarten him up and make him a regular citizen of society. There’s scene in the first Paddington live-action film where he and Mr Brown visit a tea-room. Paddington encourages Mr Brown to attempt to say his name in bear talk while he stuffs his face with a platter of cakes and tea, which he necks straight from the pot. The next time we saw Paddington with tea was in a special meeting with the late Queen Elizabeth II to commemorate her platinum jubilee. In the video, which gained a lot of traction after her passing, Paddington and Her Maj enjoy a brew in the splendour of Buckingham Palace. Pleasantries are exchanged, marmalade sandwiches are lifted from handbags, it’s all very quaint. Tea-aside, Paddington is a film definitely worth your time.

Bronson (2009)

Tea might not be something you associate with “Britain’s most violent prisoner” Charles Bronson, but the pseudo-biopic of him from 2009 features a popular tea-making scene. Halfway into the film, Bronson can be seeing pushing a trolley carrying various tea-related paraphernalia into a kitchen area with a prison guard. “That’s an impressive set of guns you have there, you must be handy in a brawl,” another inmate named Paul says as Bronson prepares a mug of black tea for him. “Very nice.” Bronson assumes a boxing stance in response to Paul’s pompous, snide rhetoric. He sips the tea and leaves the room, with Bronson’s hands still raised in battle. It’s a brief but unforgettable scene, layered with tension. Both of these men are troublemakers in very different ways. Physically worlds apart, but mentally similar.

Káva a cigarety (2003)

“Don’t you know caffeine can cause serious delirium?” says RZA, of the Wu-Tang Clan, in Jim Jarmusch’s 2003 film Coffee and Cigarettes. A series of vignettes starring various celebrities playing themselves, the likes of Iggy Pop and Steve Coogan sit around drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes. In “Delirium”, however, GZA and RZA sit in a café drinking caffeine-free herbal tea. Served by a chain smoking, coffee-slurping Bill Murray, they chastise his diet, listing the problems he’s putting himself at risk of by drinking so much caffeine. “Before I gave that up,” GZA reflects, “I used to drink it every night. Every single night up until it was time to go to sleep just to make me dream faster. You know like when they flash those cameras on them Indy 500 cars? That’s how my dreams were. Just whizzing by.” Unlike other films on this list, Coffee and Cigarettes is a film directly about hot beverages and the conversations and mood they can dictate.

Vyjděte (2017)

Tea, or rather the appearance and stirring of tea, plays a major part in the development of Jordan Peele’s social thriller Get Out. Around thirty minutes into the film, Chris (played by Daniel Kaluuya) is accosted by his girlfriend’s therapist mother Missy in the living room their family home after nipping outside to smoke a cigarette. Missy manages to entrap Chris into a psychoanalytic session, partly because he feels guilty about smoking around Missy’s daughter, and partly because Missy herself is secretly hypnotising him by methodically stirring a cup of black tea. The longer the conversation goes, which ends up concerning Chris’ own mother who died when he was a child, the more upset he becomes. ““You can’t move. You’re paralyzed,” Missy says. “Just like that day when you did nothing. You did nothing. Now … sink into the floor. Sink.” With that, Chris slides down through the chair into a dark void, floating in nothingness as a tiny screen of the outside world hovers high above. This is what became known as “the Sunken Place”, a fugue state of hopelessness where the voices of black America are forever drowned out.

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

You could argue, that prior to the release of Shaun of the Dead, foreign audiences were never hip to the idea of tea in England being anything other than a pastime of the suave and sophisticated. In the much memed, much GIF’d, plan of action montage in Edgar Wright’s 2004 zombie comedy, Shaun (played by Simon Pegg) posits that their gang of survivors “go over to Liz’s place, hole up, have a cup of tea and wait for this whole thing to blow over.” After being prodded with flaws, the plan then changes multiple times — the only constant being the tea. Until they decide to visit the Winchester and have a pint instead… The point remains, in Shaun of the Dead, we have a far more realistic representation of tea, and how and where 99% of the country consumes it. Unless your family are heirs to the Twinings fortune, drinking tea is a casual, virtually cost-free affair done in the comfort of you or your friend’s home. Even if tea isn’t your bag, you should still watch this brilliant film.

Mary Poppins (1964)

Mary Poppins is perhaps the most British film ever made. It would very, very odd if tea was not a part of it. It would be like Titanic without the iceberg. The film, adapted by Disney from a series of books by Pl Travers, tells the tale of a magical English nanny called Mary Poppins who is blown into the air and plopped in the Banks household where she sets about taking care of the two children. During her stay she comes across a few eccentrics, namely Bert, the jack of all trades cockney played by the very not-cockney Dick Van Dyke. In one scene, Mary joins Bert and the children in a tea party being suspended in the air. Like Paddington, the legacy of Mary Poppins, its quintessential Englishness, has influenced hundreds of Poppins-themed tea parties and collectibles.

Scott Pilgrim vs. svět (2010)

“What kind of tea do you want?” Ramona asks Scott during their “sleepover”. A simple question that bemuses the latter. “There’s more than one kind?” he asks. Ramona continues: “We have blueberry, raspberry, ginseng, sleepy time, green tea, green tea with lemon, green tea with lemon and honey, liver disaster, ginger with honey, ginger without honey, vanilla almond, white truffel, blueberry chamomile, vanilla walnut, constant comment and… earl grey.” It’s a nice send up of the often idiosyncratic variety of tea on the planet. Although liver disaster tea does sound intriguing, you may be hard pressed to find some in your local supermarket.

Alenka v říši divů (2010)

When Alice in Wonderland started out life as a novel in the Victorian age, tea parties were a strict and revered social activity, a formal gathering of the upper classes who could sip the finest brew and sample a slice of cake to unwind. In Lewis Carroll’s beloved story of a young girl falling through a rabbit hole into a strange, fantasy world, the tea party is anything but formal. Here in Wonderland, a place where animals are anthropomorphised, there is no typical upper class, no snootiness. Chaos is embraced and encouraged, even in the naïve Alice. The only source of stability in this entire world is the tea itself, which makes for a captivating scene. Of course, the irony is the cultural impression made by the Mad Hatters tea party has spawned several institutions to host Alice in Wonderland themed tea parties, which tend to have more in common with the formal, social elite tea parties of yesteryear. The Sanderson Hote, for example, offers a Mad Hatter Tea experience, with kings and queens on the teapots; Grow Me, Shrink Me, Bring Me Back glittery potions, Tweedle Brothers Choux Pastry, Red Knight Army Shortbread Cookies, and scones with strawberry preserve and clotted cream. Though it’s unsure what exact tea the Mad Hatter and co are drinking in the novel or it’s movie adaptations, there are Alice in Wonderland specific tea blends you can buy if you fancy hosting a party of your own!

Inglourious Basterds (2009)

In Quentin Tarantino’s explosive reimagining of Nazism, Inglourious Basterds — as with most of his films — food and drink serve a bigger purpose than mere props. They are sometimes key to the plot. Take the scene in Chez Maurice’s restaurant. Col Hands Landa (played by Christoph Waltz) invites Shoshanna (Melanie Laurent) to dine with him, recommending the strudel. At the time of WWII, puff pastries were often made with lard thanks to butter shortages. Shoshanna is being discreetly tested to see if she’s Jewish by Hans, who is either unsure and curious to know, or is sure and wants to see her eat non-kosher food for the sheer cruel sake of it. Alongside the pastries, are several drinks, among them espresso, milk, and tea. This may exactly be a “cosy tea movie” but it’s one you shouldn’t miss.

Velký Gatsby (2013)

F Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic novella The Great Gatsby is one those seemingly “unfilmable” books that has been adapted umpteen times to no avail. However, in 2013 Baz Luhrmann of Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet fame got his hands on it and managed lift that curse. The reason this particular adaptation worked better than the others that came before it? The addition of a tea party, obviously. What makes the tea party scene so pivotal in The Great Gatsby is that it’s the first time we see the hedonistic and bombastic Jay Gatsby undone by real emotion, the love he has for Daisy. Prior to her arrival he is a nervous wreck, completely unfitting with the serene setting of tea and macaroons. This film, with its atmospheric East Coast setting, its rainy days and focus on high society, makes it perfect viewing for tea lovers across the world.

National Tea Day – 7 Great Tea Scenes in Cinema

Whether you like it loose, bagged, or strained, Britain has a love for tea in all its gloriousness.

So why not have a look at some of the best tea scenes in cinema!

Čestné uznání: Any time they drink tea in Emma (2020)

Paddington (2014)

Having tea and cake is often perceived as a quintessentially British activity. So it is only natural that a movie about the more charming side of English life would feature tea. Adapted from a children’s book series by Michael Bond, Paul King’s Paddington sees a young bear from Peru who finds himself taking into care by the Brown family. All the while he is being hunted by a taxidermist. This scene sees the Browns take the haphazard young bear to a tearoom whilst they decide on what to do with him. However, his table manners are undesirable as he pours it straight from the teapot. It’s quaint and sweet. We couldn’t write this article without including everyone’s favourite bear!

The Importance of Earnest (1952)

Based on a play by Oscar Wilde, this movie sees two men pretend to be something they are not to woo two ladies. These women are Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew, who, in a brilliant scene, meet over an afternoon tea outside. It is a fine example of British politeness that hides cutting remarks about each other. As they dine on tea and cake, they make bitty conversation that makes a certain distaste for one another. There are some cracking deliveries here, especially when it comes to lumps of sugar in the tea. Plus, there is a butler who treats the moment like a tennis match as they spar between one another.

Mary Poppins (1964)

Tell me, as a child how much did you want to have a tea party on the ceiling? Always. In one of the film’s most iconic sequences, magical nanny Mary Poppins visits Uncle Albert who has a hilarious habit for breaking into hysterics. However, when he does, he winds up floating on the ceiling. When Burt, Mary, and the children wind up laughing just as much as he, they to join him and decide to have an upside down tea party. They burst into the song “I Love To Laugh’ which is a favourite – especially when they try to impersonate all the giggles a person can do!

Bronson (2008)

Michael Peterson, otherwise known as Charles Bronson was considered Britain’s most violent criminal. In Nicolas Winding Refn’s dark comedy, Tom Hardy assumes the role of the titular man in this devilish black comedy ride. It is best known for its violence as Peterson rioted and held many people hostage during his time locked up. However, in one of its calmer scenes, you see Peterson pushing a tea trolley around, giving cups to the guards. Along comes a prisoner Paul

Daniels (played wonderfully by Matt King) singing “Tea for Two.” Bronson offers him a cup and Daniels admires his “guns.” As Bronson flexes, you get a glimpse of the violence that is constantly brewing underneath the muscled surface.

Sloní muž (1980)

David Lynch’s black and white depiction of a Victorian London through the eyes of Joseph Merrick (here named John Merrick) is a marvellous one. With gorgeous cinematography and enthralling performances by John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins, The Elephant Man is a great film with a heightened moral message as well. Tea and high-society were popular in Victorian society so it is natural that it would feature here. However, there are different meanings behind them. For example, as the upper echelon’s dine with John, it is hinted that he may have swapped being in one freak-show for another, just with polite table manners.

However, the most memorable tea scene here is when John is invited back to Doctor Frederick Treaves home for a cup of tea. As John meets Treaves’ wife Ann, he breaks down – no one had ever been so kind and polite to him before. It is a tender sequence.

Scott Pilgrim vs. svět (2010)

Edgar Wright’s action comedy movie was based on a series of graphic novels by Bryan Lee O’Malley. It saw Scott as a hapless bassist for a boring band. One day, he meets the beautiful Ramona Flowers but is dismayed when he discovers he has to battle her seven evil exes. Visually sharp and ferociously hilarious, Scott Pilgrim is an extremely fun movie. The tea scene in particular is pretty excellent. Ramona invites Scott over for a “sleepover” and asks him if he wants a cup. She opens the cupboard and finds an entire treasure trove of teas – listing the flavours in an iconic monologue. It certainly did inspire this writer to create her own similar tea cupboard.

Alenka v říši divů (1951)

Lewis Carol’s adventure story is a brilliant and colour filled scape that has been told countless times. However, it is the Disney animated version which is often fondly remembered. The story sees the titular character follow a white rabbit down a hole. She finds herself in a magical world imaginary where flowers can talk, playing cards spring to life, and a maniacal queen tries to lop off her head. In a memorable sequence, Alice meets the Mad Hatter and the March hair who have a crazed tea party. It’s a quirky and a fantastic sequence, especially when they break into the Very Merry Unbirthday Song.

Now let’s all have a cup of tea and wait for this to blow over.
