Honey Teahive Takes Tea Time to a New Level
Gastronomic Salt Lake City
by Heather L. King - September 21, 2023
Honey Teahive (Heather L King)
Meet Honey Teahive, a local company devoted to all things tea, and taking tea time to a new level. Owner Mika Lee is a Utah native who loves British afternoon tea. She’s turned her obsession with tea into a thriving business, offering tea lessons, catered high-tea parties, tea party boxes, and now grab and go items.
Lee built her business from the ground up, launching during the pandemic with a tea-party-in-a-box model featuring savory finger sandwiches, traditional English scones and seasonal petit four desserts that could be enjoyed over Zoom parties or outside. “Honey Teahive was founded to bring a fun, unique and delicious experience to your doorstep,” she explains.
