Reminiscent of the 19th century,\u00a0The Pfister\u2019s Afternoon Tea service\u00a0resembles\u00a0a traditional English tea experience. As guests are seated, they are welcomed by a tea butler, who visits each table with a gueridon service trolley and\u00a0provides\u00a0in-depth guidance on tea and its origins, as well as table-side blending options. Guests then learn how tea can affect mood and health and are offered tealeaf samples to appreciate the distinct aromas of each variety. The experience rounds out with a sampling of seasonal scones, sandwiches, and pastries to enjoy while sipping.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
