The Tea Party (1991) is the first album by the Canadian rock group The Tea Party. It was originally recorded as a demo which the band submitted to several record companies. However, as the trio did not secure a recording contract, they decided to release the album independently. The album production is relatively lo-fi and the band re-recorded several of the songs for their major label follow-up Splendor Solis. Only 3,500 copies of the album were made, some of which were cassettes; this made the recording collectible to fans. On December 10, 2021, a deluxe remastered edition of the album was released.
Track listing "Baby What You Trying to Do" contains a brief quote from "Train Kept A-Rollin'" during the band's jamming.
