Our Story

A new place to find things TEA!

       Nann Thomson, originator and former owner of Take Tea, a British Style Tea Room in                            Avon, CT has created a small, carefully curated collection of items to take home to                             your home and enjoy.  Working by her side, as he did at the tea room, is Jon Shaw. 

                    Both mom and son love to travel, and have taken tea in Ireland and England                  (and Canada and the U.S).  Although they won't be serving tea at CuppaCT they

understand that friends love the beauty (and fun) of a tea service and hope to send you 

home with the accoutrements that will make having a Cuppa at your home memorable.

About Us

Finding inspiration from our past...

              Since the sale of the tea room in  2025,  Jon and I have been working                                    on our "next thing".   It turned out that hundreds of pieces of vintage                                                 Irish and British china needed  to  find new homes.                                                          We decided to help with this by creating our brick and mortar                   home at Riverdale Farms in Avon.
