Fall Down The Rabbit Hole With Sydney Westin's Mad Hatter Tea

High tea service can be fun, but most of the time it can be stuffy. Really, how many cucumber sandwiches can one person eat? The Westin Sydney has broken the chains of sipping tea with an extended pinky finger with a new take on tradtion, the Mad Hatter Tea.

Full of whimsy, this service is a flagrant nod to Alice in Wonderland and her adventures. Think beyond the 'Eat Me' cakes and move towards a super-chocolatey cake decorated like the Mad Hatter's hat or blueberry macaron 'painted' like the White Rabbit's pocket watch. From sweet to savory, the multi-tiered plates would even make a fan out of the Queen of Hearts.

If savory is more your speed, you can partake in Tweedledee & Tweedledum's roasted beef and fresh asparagus roulade and a cherry bocconcini and tomato on fresh green salad boat presented like a psychedelic caterpillar. Either way, you wont have to worry about shrinking to pint-sized or growing into a giant —an inflated belly from all the goodies doesn't count.

For just $45 ($46), the goodies are paired with your choice of traditional tea and coffee or for $20 AUD ($20) more, you can sip some fancy bubbles. We might recommend leaving the sunlight bathed atrium little more clear headed with a SuperFoodsRX mocktail featuring more holistic options. Any way you do it, just don't be "late for the very important date".
