This upcoming Mother’s Day weekend, the Museum of Vancouver mixes learning, fashion, and tea for its “High Tea @ MOV” museum fundraiser. Whether guests attend with friends or together with their mum, it’s sure to be a delightful afternoon spent at this special sit-down tea service.
Guest speaker Brendan Waye, accredited tea specialist (aka “The Tea Guy”) as well as a Vancouver Community College tea sommelier program instructor will provide insight on both the traditions and rituals of high tea culture over time.
Guests will enjoy a variety of teas and a delicious assortment of petite sandwiches and cakes. A guided tour of the Art Deco Chic exhibition will provide a base for conversation, and tea demonstrations will give guests an opportunity to discover new tastes while learning about teas from around the world.
