About the event
Tableside holiday tea service
Holiday Tea is a traditional upscale afternoon holiday tea service served tableside at The Lafayette in Washington DC. The format centers on a seated tea service rather than a lecture, tasting class, or reception-style event.
The more detailed menu information adds that the tea component includes loose-leaf or specialty teas, giving the service a defined tea-focused structure alongside the food and Champagne elements.
What the service includes
The savory portion is described as a selection of tea sandwiches or bites. The service also includes warm seasonal scones, served with Devonshire cream and preserves, which places the scone course alongside the tea and savory selections rather than as a separate add-on.
The sweet portion is a multi-tiered array of Viennese and French pastries, sweets, and confectioneries. Champagne is included in the event description, while the menu detail describes Champagne service as optional, so the safest reading is that Champagne is part of the offering but not necessarily required for every guest.
Venue and timing
The featured venue is The Lafayette, identified as a restaurant in Washington DC. Its listed address is 800 16th St NW, Washington, DC 20006, which places the event at the restaurant rather than at another named venue connected to the broader search results.
