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.

Best Tea Party to Go
Honey Teahive
Mika Lee appeared on our radar as a writer for Devour Utah, City Weekly's erstwhile foodie magazine. Who knew that even as she interviewed chefs and cooks throughout Utah for the magazine, she yearned to create her own enterprise—which was to offer Salt Lake denizens a traveling tea party! Lee brought her dream to fruition during the rise of COVID-19, and in spite of all the obstacles the pandemic created for entrepreneurs, she has become one sought-after culinary queen. From brewing unbelievably delicious tea (she learned all about it from relatives in Taiwan) to creating divine pastries and sweets (ever tried mooncake?), Lee can either bring the tea party to you, or you can pick up a "tea party in a box" from her operation based out of the Square Kitchen. Plus, she will cater your special events. In whatever way you come to her, be prepared for a taste treat unlike any other.
