Afternoon tea collaborations are common in Asia but less frequent in the US and Europe. So when a collaboration does happen, it is pretty exciting. Peninsula New York just finished a two-month tea collaboration with American Ballet Theater. They’re currently on a Ladurée afternoon tea, but I wanted to share photos from the ballet tea (t0 house in our afternoon tea archives :).
