“You, me, and a cup of tea in the afternoon.”Ahmad Ali

For my birthday this year, I wanted do to another afternoon tea.

At first, I was going to try Tea Around Town, an offering in Beverly Hills (and seemingly franchised in different states as well) where you have tea on a double-decker bus and drive around Beverly Hills. I was very close to checking out and was searching for a coupon code—but then I found several unsatisfactory Yelp reviews that made me begin my search again.

Funnily enough, the Afternoon Tea offering at the Langham Hotel was listed right underneath and it had much more favorable reviews so I decided to book an afternoon slot for me and my friends.
