Top of the Mark Intercontinental Hotel Holiday Tea

I was also able to enjoy fabulous Holiday Tea at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle, so be sure to check out my blog post for more.

Why Holiday Tea and where:

Now that it’s December, it’s time to organize your Holiday plans. December always creeps up on us. I’m usually so excited about Thanksgiving (it is my FAVORITE Holiday, fitting for a Food Blogger I know). Before I know it, December has arrived. What’s more festive than Holiday Tea at an iconic San Francisco Hotel The Intercontinental Mark Hopkins with beautiful views, gorgeous Holiday decor, and yummy food.  If that’s your cup of tea, read more about Holiday Tea here.

What you can taste:

A selection of fine teas and delectable three-tier presentations of desserts, scones, and tea sandwiches. They will also feature classics like Cranberry scones with Devonshire cream and lemon curd and Mini Yule Logs. There’s also a new addition to the Tea Sandwiches this year, the B.L.T. which is incredible!

The delicious sandwich spread. I love the B.L.T. sandwich, the newest addition to Holiday Tea for 2015
