A Refined Cultural Experience in an Iconic Setting
Hosted in the Grand Salon of the Baccarat Hotel in New York City, this private workshop blends the artistry of English tea culture with the timeless sophistication of one of the world's most celebrated hotels. The setting itself becomes part of the experience — enhancing the sense of occasion, beauty, and ritual.
This is not simply an afternoon tea. It is a carefully curated ceremony that honors history, etiquette, and the pleasure of meaningful social connection.
Why This Experience Matters
The English tea ceremony is a cultural ritual shaped by centuries of tradition, social grace, and thoughtful detail. When experienced in a setting as refined as the Baccarat Hotel, the ceremony takes on deeper meaning — offering guests a moment to slow down, be present, and engage with elegance in its purest form.

- A deeper understanding of English tea traditions

- An appreciation for refined social rituals
- A memorable shared experience in an exceptional setting
