All of our hosted teas at the estate are thoughtfully curated and created by Chef Donna Collins, founder of The Jelly Queens — an award-winning artisan known across Texas for her inventive, small-batch jellies, jams, and gourmet creations. A former MasterChef U.S. contestant and celebrated culinary artist, Chef Donna brings her passion for local ingredients, elegant flavors, and Southern hospitality to every tea experience. Her handcrafted menus transform each gathering into a uniquely Texan celebration of taste, tradition, and charm.
