Fairmont hotels have a legacy of luxury, comfortable reliability, and iconic splendor. With more than 70 properties worldwide, including the renowned Fairmont Empress in Victoria, British Columbia, the well-known brand has left an indelible mark on the hotel landscape. At the core of many of their beautiful locations, lies a love for tea that is delicately interwoven into the culture of each landmark.

I often receive requests from art museums to design custom tea blends based upon art in their collections. One of my favorite commissions was for American artist Georgia O’Keeffe. Not only was I inspired by her incredible paintings of the New Mexico desert, I also discovered her deep appreciation of tea. I visited the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe soon after it opened in 1995. Later, I had opportunitiesto enter her home and studio in the desert village of Abiquiu, where I felt a sense of harmony as I walked through her simple adobe rooms. The colors, textures, and her use of space reminded me of the feeling I often get when entering a Japanese tea house. The home remains as she left it when she died in 1986.…

Celebrating 20 YEARS Tasty tea sandwiches are one of the most recognizable hallmarks of afternoon tea, and we are often asked how we get the sandwiches pictured in the pages of TeaTime to look so neat and orderly. Manipulating the bread and the various ingredients in a recipe to ensure a wonderful result takes skill and patience, but mostly knowledge of helpful tips. To continue the celebration of our 20th anniversary, we asked our editor, recipe developers, and food stylists in our test kitchen to kindly “spill the tea” and share their advice for making attractive and delicious tea sandwiches. Here are their tips for preparing picture-perfect bites. THE RIGHT BREAD Since most of us would tend to select the freshest and softest bread possible, we should remember that isn’t…
