“Wonder is the rapt attention and deep emotion caused by something extraordinary.”

When we were children, wonder came to us quite naturally. We found it in stories, moonlight, make-believe, the heavens above us, and the simple pleasure of being surprised by beauty.

But childlike wonder is not only for children. It is something worth protecting, something worth making room for, especially in an age so often marked by hurry and cynicism.

“We must make room for awe. Find space for wonder. We must plan play.”

In "Seeking Childlike Wonder," our founder Mary Alice Higbie reflects on the importance of creating margin for imagination, delight, and the things that help us remember what is truly most important.

Some recipes are worth keeping close at hand.

Charleston Green Iced Tea with Brown Sugar Simple Syrup is a graceful balance of warmth and surprise. This verdant green tea, kissed with walnut and almond, opens with soft, toasty notes before unfolding into a delicate finish of tropical sweetness. Chilled and gently sweetened with brown sugar syrup, it becomes a refreshingly refined glass of southern charm.

Save this recipe for your next summer teatime.

Charleston Green Iced Tea with Brown Sugar Simple Syrup
Prep Time: 25 minutes + cooling and chilling
Serves approximately 4

Ingredients
3 heaping Tbsp. Charleston Green loose leaf tea
64 oz. boiling water, or filtered room temperature water for cold brew
1 cup water
1 cup brown sugar, or coconut sugar

Instructions: Brew Charleston Green tea in simmering water according to the steep time on the package. Let the tea cool completely on the counter before chilling in the refrigerator.

For the cold brew method, place the loose leaf tea in an infuser or directly into filtered water in a pitcher or container. Chill in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning, remove the infuser or strain the tea leaves.

To make the brown sugar simple syrup, heat 1 cup water in a small saucepan until boiling. Once it reaches a boil, turn off the heat and stir in 1 cup brown sugar, or coconut sugar, until fully dissolved.

Let the syrup cool completely on the counter before serving or chilling in the refrigerator.

Serve the tea with simple syrup on the side so each guest may sweeten their glass to taste.

St. James Iced Tea Secret: To keep your iced tea from becoming watered down, make your ice cubes from the same tea you are serving. Brew extra Charleston Green at least one night before, let it cool, pour it into ice cube trays, and freeze until ready to serve.

Pour over tea ice cubes, add brown sugar simple syrup as desired, and enjoy a summer glass that stays flavorful to the last sip.

Some teas feel especially suited to the long, golden days of summer.

Serene Berry Nectar, an invigorating organic oolong, is brightened by red goji berries, long treasured in Chinese tradition and often called the ancient secret of longevity. The result is a cup with a sophisticated taste, gentle energy, and just enough fruit essence to refresh you on a warm afternoon.

Steep with simmering water to enjoy hot for a quiet moment indoors or let cool to pour over ice for a lovely summer refreshment.

Summer gives us a gentle invitation to slow down with the children in our lives, to step into their wonder, linger in their stories, and remember the sweetness of seeing the world through younger eyes. For an afternoon, we may even find ourselves becoming children again, delighting in small things and make-believe places.

Our July Carry Out menu brings the charm of teatime into the open air with “Tea in the Hundred Acre Wood,” prepared for you to enjoy wherever the afternoon feels most peaceful.

Alongside the full carry out teatime experience, we are delighted to offer Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Scones served with butter and Piglet’s PB & J Cookies with mixed berry jam.

Whether you are picnicking beneath the trees, spreading a blanket in the garden, or bringing a little beauty to your own table, we would be honored to prepare your gathering.

Available for pick-up June 30–August 2, 2026.

Reservations for carry out teatime are available at the following link: https://stjamestearoom.com/carry-out/

There are Earl Greys and then there are those worthy of distinction.

Earl of St. James begins with the bright bergamot of a traditional Earl Grey, then deepens into something altogether more enchanting with fragrant rose petals, lavender blossoms, and a whisper of rosemary.

Familiar, yet wonderfully unexpected, it is a tea that turns an ordinary afternoon into something beautifully memorable.

Bring home a blend worthy of your finest teacup. Visit our St. James Market or Online Tea Shop to enjoy Earl of St. James at home.

Two hundred and fifty years woven together through stories of resilience, tradition, and shared hope. Today we pause in gratitude for the generations who gathered, built, and dreamed before us, shaping the history we now celebrate.

On this day, we honor that legacy in the simplest of ways: a shared table, a poured cup, and a moment taken to remember how far we have come.

May your celebration be filled with gratitude for the past, joy in the present, and every hope for the years still to come.
