Which I never showed you a pic of… Was happy to have been invited back, as they really stepped up their game! (read our previous review here) Def more savories, like LOTS more! Want to go back again for sure.

So back to my being nervous… I have tea plans already in August, but nothing was popping up yet in July. And it’s not even like I HAVE to do Tea once a month, not at all. It’s just FUN to hahah!! Me + my OCD wanted to keep the streak going! I thought I was gonna try Dartealing’s new menu (cuz their last one ended in June)…

Now, I’m not on socials. Yall know that. But I checked something real quick on my Blog account (you can still follow IG @parTEAwithmeBlog as I might occasionally post a Story or an update) and (while I have multiple) decided to check a single DM that came from one of my girlfriends just 39-minutes ago. Her nicknames are “Seat Mate Date/Wife of Filipino” on the blog posts and she quickly became a new Regular because she was so easy to make plans with, so much fun to be around. It was a reel about a tea service I did NOT want to miss! (that her girlfriend actually sent to HER, knowing she loves to parTEA with us!) I texted her right away and because this Tea was only available for 3 weekends…made plans to go the soonest we were available. Which was Sunday (the only day that I could possibly squeeze this in), and we just texted on Thursday!! Her Foodie Husband was already on board checking the parking situation there, my Huz was now in, and the Cutie Girls couldn’t make it (missed you boos) but Cutie’s Mr. was coming fo sho!

It was a BEAUTY AND THE BEAST themed Tea yall.

The musical is playing at the Orpheum so the Fairmont decided to do a special menu in honor of the show! You only have 2 more weekends to try this tea service and you don’t wanna miss it! (see, this is why joining our email list is important…then you won’t miss out on these!)

I loved it all tho. Deffffinitely stepped up their game since the last time I’ve been. (which was in June 2016 btw!) We had great service (thank you Wu!) and VIP parking (thank you Tony!).

The scones were slammin. Lots + lots of cherries and crispy edges.

The Grey Stuff tho. Boyyy. That was my favorite. You’ll have to come and forreal TRY IT!! Everything had adorable names that were nods to the movie. The collection of tea sandwiches and sweets were on par!

But of course, it was my company. The company always makes the experience. We drove over together and took a walk to see the Rooftop Garden after. So much fun with these guys, even tho me + my girl were outnumbered by the boys! Hehe. Love my family.

Join our email list if you haven’t already. You will not wanna miss what’s coming in a few weeks! See you then! (kissie emoji)
