Set against the shimmer of the marina, each tier is crafted with elegance and a touch of whimsy, capturing the joy and indulgence of the season. Paired with our curated tea selection — including the exclusive Cape Grace blend — this limited-time ritual offers a luxurious taste of the holiday season.
