Pomponella marks its fifth anniversary, highlighting the evolution of Cynthia Legrand’s Miami-based afternoon tea concept since its launch in 2021.
— Pomponella, the Miami-based private afternoon tea business founded by Cynthia Legrand, is marking its fifth anniversary in 2026, reaching the milestone five years after Legrand began bringing English-style afternoon tea to private homes, offices, and event settings across the Miami area.
The anniversary marks a significant point in the development of a business that began in 2021 under the name Titia’s Tea Party. Since then, the concept has evolved into Pomponella, retaining its focus on private afternoon tea while adapting to the different settings and occasions in which clients have chosen to host gatherings.
Legrand launched the business at a time when private entertaining was taking on renewed importance, creating a format that brought traditional afternoon tea elements directly to clients rather than requiring them to visit a dedicated tea room. The original offering included tea, finger sandwiches, scones, pastries, and table settings arranged for each private gathering.
Five years on, the anniversary provides an opportunity to look at how that concept has developed. Pomponella has continued to operate as a mobile, private-event service, with gatherings taking place in homes, offices, and other venues selected by hosts. Events have included birthdays, bridal, and baby showers, and other private celebrations.
“Afternoon tea is a unique and wonderful experience, offering endless ways to create a memorable and personal occasion,” Legrand explains.
The business has also retained elements associated with the traditional afternoon tea format, including fine china, tiered serving stands, floral arrangements, scones, pastries, tea, and savory sandwiches. Depending on the event, those elements can be adapted to the setting and occasion.
Legrand’s approach has centered on treating afternoon tea as an event format rather than simply a meal. According to her, the table presentation and décor form part of the overall setting, while food selections and other details can be adjusted according to the gathering.
The fifth anniversary also comes as the business remains open to selected private events beyond the Miami area. Travel is considered based on the location, scope, and budget of an individual event, allowing the concept to extend beyond its original geographic base when appropriate.
For Legrand, the past five years have demonstrated the adaptability of afternoon tea as a format for private entertaining. Its traditional elements can remain recognizable while the setting, presentation, and occasion give each gathering a different character.
Pomponella’s five-year milestone marks the continuation of a small hospitality concept that has evolved through changes in name, setting, and format while maintaining its focus on private afternoon tea. As the business enters its sixth year, Legrand continues to build on the model she introduced in Miami in 2021.
