Penelope Carlevato loves sharing Jesus "one teacup at a time." She was born in England and moved to the U.S. as a little girl. She was raised in an English home on the plains of South Dakota. She has been involved in the tea industry for over three decades, from having her own retail tea business, writing and speaking about tea and the art of hospitality to women's groups, historical organizations, and business events. She is a tour leader for annual “Taste of Britain” tea tours.
Penelope is a Registered Nurse and a Christian author and speaker. She is a member of the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association (AWSA), Titanic Speakers Bureau, Christian Women Speakers, a P.O.W.E.R Speaker Graduate, Historic Denver, MOPS Speaker Network, and a Merit of Honor Award winner from the Evangelical Press Association for her column in the award-winning Leading Hearts Magazine. Her books include Tea on the Titanic, First Class Etiquette, Tea Lovers Journal, as well as the best-selling The Art of Afternoon Tea: From the Era of Downton Abbey and the Titanic which was presented as a gift to H.R.H. Queen Elizabeth II. Not only is she the author of four books, but she is also a member of the Titanic Speakers Bureau and serves as a regular columnist for Innovative Health Magazine.
A love of the Edwardian era and the traditions of that period was the motivation for her books. She is the grandmother of 11, great-gran of 5, and resides in Knoxville, Tennessee.
