Pinkies up, ladies 💕✨

High tea at the iconic Fairmont Empress is the ultimate girls’ weekend experience. Think elegant tiers, stunning harbour views, and all the little touches that make it feel extra special 🫖

My favourite? The Blue Suede Shoes green tea—so smooth and unique, I’m still thinking about it 💚

Pro tip I learned: start from the bottom tier (that’s where the warm, savoury bites are!) and work your way up to the top for those dreamy desserts 🍰

Save this for your next Victoria getaway + tag your high tea crew 👯‍♀️✨
