Tea & Tulips Afternoon Tea
May 10 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Last spring, during our visit to Las Vegas for the World Tea Expo, Paul and I had the chance to explore the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. In stark contrast to the dazzling lights of the strip, it felt like a whimsical tea party paradise. Each section celebrated four beloved tea varieties: rose hip, chamomile, ginger-peach, and lavender. With over 12,000 potted plants and flowers, it took 100 dedicated individuals working around the clock for six days to bring it to life and it was truly an enchanting garden filled with whimsy and wonder. In May, our gardens burst with tulips and vibrant flowers, making it the perfect moment to showcase this Tea & Tulips Afternoon Tea menu inspired by that stunning garden and to adorn our charming Tea House with lively, colorful, garden-fresh bouquets.
