Tea time: Daily, 3pm to 5pm

Price: $88 for two on weekdays: $98 for two on weekends and public holidays. Alcoholic and nonalcohol­ic Copenhagen Sparkling Tea are available at $70 and $45 per bottle.

Spill the tea: The hotel is stunning and cool, and “T Time” is served in WOOBAR, one of my favourite weekend hangouts that’s starting to come to life again.

We were excited when our cute decorative silver birdcage arrived – this one will be a treat for Instagramm­ers. There were so many pretty things in the cage, we really didn’t know what to grab first. The menu really was my kind of food: quail egg quiche, Boston lobster roll, smoked Atlantic salmon in a soft dark rye bread and a goat’s cheese savoury cheesecake with onion marmalade – gorgeous!

I love my savouries so I’m always loitering around that tier but this sweet selection drew me in. The cute triple-chocolate M&M mini milkshake was so divine. We quickly jumped into the other desserts like the rainbow thousandla­yer cake, fluffy red velvet cake pops, pistachio nutty nougat and lavender macarons and lychee blackcurra­nt marshmallo­w. We saved a little space for the lemon cranberry scones with clotted cream and seasonal jam along with fennel madeleines with honey lavender butter, the perfect end to a wonderful afternoon.

A selection of lovely tea blends from TWG are included as well as hot or iced coffee – oh, and you can add some lovely special-offer cocktails or sparkling tea too.
