What a crazy question.
There is this 33 volume thick series where last 20 volumes are spent on tea parties. In the series there is an instrument modeled after bandura called harspiel that is often played on those tea parties.
I have made a 2h+ bandura music compliation just to immerese myself more into the world of those tea parties.
The series is called Ascendance of a Bookworm and there is whole instance dedicated to it.
What a crazy coincidence haha. I’ll check her out
Flight of the Conchords. “There ain’t no party like Nana’s tea parties!”
When I have company I tend to play the Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo soundtracks or maybe Of Monsters And Men
Nujabe
I’m a big fan of Enya.
Some of the lower-tempo tracks from Stardew Valley, like ‘Cloud Country’ or ‘Wild Horseradish Jam’.
Have you tried death metal? 😅
Muzak.
We were just talking about Satie (furniture muzak) :D
You could try the classic Cat Stevens album Tea for the Tillerman
Mark Sherman plays some great vibes charts. Interplay is great background music for a gathering.

I don’t know what kind of tea parties you “throw”, so to say. But here is a suggestion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eELH0ivexKA
If not this, some Erik Satie maybe?
Saties good for everything haha
Well, he wouldn’t be my first choice for stealing a car… but he is close.
Art Tatum, Tea for Two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btJWbMXTx2U
That reminds me a lot of Takeshi Terauchi in some parts.
Anything by Coleman’s Hawkins, softly in the background.
