    I had a wonderful time at the Pinktober High Tea experience! The ambience was lovely, and I truly enjoyed myself. The food was exceptional and, honestly, even better than the traditional high tea selections I’ve experienced at Four Seasons. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and delicious! I typically don’t care for macaroons, but the Guava Ginger Macaroon was absolutely delicious and pleasantly surprised me. The Jumbo Crab Éclair was another standout, along with all the tea sandwich selections. Chef’s kiss! 👏🏽✨ My only disappointment was that the blooming tea wasn't available, as I had really been looking forward to experiencing it since it's one of my favorites. Overall, it was another lovely experience, and Four Seasons continues to deliver the elevated atmosphere and quality I’ve come to appreciate. I look forward to returning! 🩷🥂
