The Arizona Biltmore has an extensive and elegantly served tea (check the video) in the Lobby Tea Court through May (that means you can be an early bird and get your Easter and Mother's Day reservations in!) that features yummy bakery goods (check out the swan pastries above!) and delectables like shaved turkey tea sandwiches with rosemary and cranberry aioli, egg nog brulee. Plus there's a Basil Lemonade Sparkle, which we are crazy intrigued by--basil lemonade and sparkling wine! Swoon. As far as actual tea? Yes, they've got that too, from black currant to an organic sage and blueberry green tea.
