Tea at the Phoenician is always a first-rate and special experience. Our family regularly tries to have tea at the Phoenician for special occasions such as Mother's Day, birthdays, or just to catch up.
My Mom is pouring tea while enjoying her champagne and finger sandwiches.
The Phoenician is the best tea we have experienced and we have tried teas everywhere in the World, including the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong. None are as good.
The Phoenician has several courses. First, you choose regular champagne or kir royale. Next you move to your choice of tea and there are many to choose from.
Now on to finger sandwiches as shown in the last photo. From asparagus, salmon, roast beef, egg salad and more. You can eat two rounds of them and I always do!
Then you move to two nice sized scones. One regular and the other is a cranberry scone. Of course these come with devonshire cream, lemon curd or strawberry preserves.
Finally you move to desserts. You can see the choices in the second photo. All heavenly. I often have to take my desserts home in a box and eat them for breakfast the next day. A favorite line the servers use at tea when serving you is: "If you cannot decide, you may have one of each." And, you really must as each item is a piece of work and tastes delicious.

Hi Julie,
Looks like the Phoenician is a delight in every way possible... I'm happy you enjoy Scottsdale (most people don't appreciate what is in front of them).
Looks like your Mom really appreciated this, and she looks enthused to be enjoying your company in such magnificent surroundings and with such appealing and apparently delicious food.
Thanks again for sharing!

A cup of tee would be nice.
Do you mind if I ask how much per person? I did one of these only once in Pasadena and It was 40 bucks. I about flipped (and it wasn't comparable to yours)
