Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together the butter, parsley, chives, shallot and lemon zest.
- Lay the bread slices out on a clean work surface. Spread 2 teaspoons of the compound butter over each slice of bread. Trim the cucumber slices so that they are the length of the bread slices. (Save the scraps for salads.) Lay 4 pieces of cucumber across 1 slice of buttered bread--it is okay if the cucumbers overlap. Repeat on 5 more slices of bread. Season the top of the cucumbers lightly with salt. Next, add a single layer of radishes over the cucumbers, about 12 rounds per slice of bread.
- Toss the frisee with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Divide the frisee evenly over the radishes. Top the frisee with the remaining 6 slices buttered bread. Cut each sandwich into thirds with a serrated knife to make small rectangles. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- To make the perfect tea sandwiches, use thinly sliced bread, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the butter or mayonnaise evenly and thinly on both sides of the bread.
- When layering the sandwich, start with the bread, then add the spread, followed by the fillings, and finish with another slice of bread.
- Cut the sandwiches into triangles or rectangles with a sharp knife.
- For the cucumber slices, use a mandoline or a sharp knife to cut them very thinly and evenly.
- To make the dill-mint spread, finely chop the dill and mint and mix them with the sour cream or yogurt, mayonnaise, and salt and pepper to taste.
- If you don't have dill or mint, you can use other fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or cilantro.
- If you're using a tea infuser, add the tea leaves or herbs to the infuser and steep them in a pot of hot water for a few minutes, or according to the package directions.
- You can also make a simple syrup by dissolving sugar in hot water and then adding it to the tea.
- For a refreshing summer drink, serve the tea sandwiches with iced tea or lemonade.
