WHAT IS A TEA TOWEL?
The term tea towel describes types of kitchen towels and was originally an English term. Tea towels were traditionally made from a soft thin linen material. Throughout history, they were mainly used as décor. They were embroidered and coloured with beautifully intricate designs and were made to match a kitchen’s lavish linen set.
In countries where having tea is a daily ritual, like England and Ireland, tea towels are found in abundance. Years ago, they were also used to dry and polish fragile dishes that were too precious to trust to potentially clumsy housemaids. When offering a tea service they serve as both tray liners, as well as a cover for scones or a teapot to keep them warm.
USES FOR TEA TOWELS
A tea towel, is a necessary kitchen workhorse with dozens of uses and many are quite beautiful for collecting and enhancing decor. Tea towels come in a variety of sizes, materials, and colors and are used to accent kitchen décor in a number of ways. We often see them neatly displayed over cupboard doors or oven handles. Simply folded, they can be stored neatly away in a kitchen drawer or grouped in a basket.
Tea towels can also serve functional purposes such as dusting and polishing wood surfaces and fine china. They are beautiful and functional when wrapping a fresh loaf of bread or serving scones and muffins. Cotton tea towels make great over-sized napkins to use with a breakfast or coffee set up as well. Tea towels are one of the most versatile items you can have in your kitchen.
Today there are a multitude of styles of tea towels that come in all sorts of colors, patterns, materials, weights and sizes all suited for different tasks around the kitchen. Clean, spare tea towels (and why not beautiful ones?) should always be kept on hand so that a fresh towel is always available.
