The Tea Party (1991) is the first album by the Canadian rock group, The Tea Party. Originally recorded as a demo, the album includes newly remixed and remastered audio from the band's own Stuart Chatwood, as well as new artwork and liner notes. Pressed on 180-gram red vinyl.

For fans of the band, The Tea Party has remained a collectible album since its release in 1991. It was originally recorded as a demo that the band submitted to several record companies. However, the band was not signed to any recording contract and decided to release the album independently. The album production is relatively lo-fi, and the band re-recorded several of the songs for their follow-up Splendor Solis. Only 3,500 copies of the album were made, some of which were cassettes, making the recording highly desirable among Tea Party devotees.

"Thirty years is a significant milestone. It has certainly been a trip in every sense of the word. If you had asked us in 1991 if we'd be re-issuing this record in 2021, we might actually have said, 'Why yes of course!' as it was this self-belief that let the band make the kind of music we made," explains The Tea Party's Stuart Chatwood.

"We are thrilled to finally be able to share this limited release with all our supporters....It captures a band on the beginning of a sonic trip that took us from Detroit to Delhi to Dusseldorf to Down Under and back. Physically the record enabled us to journey from a tiny Toronto rehearsal space to some of the greatest venues in the world and for that we are very thankful. Enjoy!"

Formed in 1990, The Tea Party have released seven studio albums, selling over three million copies worldwide, filling stadiums on the strength of anthemic hits such as "The River," "Sister Awake," "Temptation," and "Heaven Coming Down."
