FAQ
Will you reopen Camellia Teas services once the pandemic is over or more under control?
No. Camellia House was sold and we moved to a small private home not open to the public. We have no plans to re-start our home-based business and currently have other forms of employment we find fulfilling.
I have a really small event/occasion, could you make an exception?
We understand your disappointment. We are sorry we cannot assist you.
It is such a shame your expertise in these areas is no longer shared with the public, are you planning do find another way to offer your services?
Thank you for your kind words; For 15 years we offered hundreds of events to thousands of people. We hope that others may choose to take up these services in the future. Camellia Teas does not offer referrals.
