I am a royal watcher; I watched the weddings of William and Kate, and Harry and Meghan. I watched as much Jubilee coverage as I could. I watched the funerals of Princess Diana, the Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Elizabeth II. Say what you will about the Royal Family; I am a sucker for a love story and celebrating the lives of people who have dedicated their lives to service.
My best friend and I try to watch these events together and we make a big deal of it! Having just taken High Tea at The Empress in Victoria, we were inspired to create our own tea tower. Typically, the first (bottom) level of the three-tiered stand are savory items like tea sandwiches. The second (middle) level includes scones with clotted cream and jam. The third (top) level consists of sweet items. You eat from the bottom up. And the best part is: it’s all finger foods!
We are having two flavours of tea from the Loft 35 collection which can be purchased online from the Fairmont Store; Lady Londonderry and the classic, Orange Pekoe! There will also be mimosas for toasting!
