When it comes to engaging in small, intimate conversations over a cup of tea, there are numerous synonyms that can be used instead of the phrase "tea table talks." The most popular alternative is probably "tea party," which has a more social connotation and can include multiple guests. Another option is "tea time chat," which implies a casual, relaxed exchange of ideas. For a more formal setting, "salon discussion" or "afternoon tea debate" might be appropriate. And for those who prefer a more literary approach, "kaffeeklatsch" (a German word meaning "coffee gossip") is a fun and quirky synonym to use.
