Sky-High Tea

Overview

Ready to go high? The classic high tea is getting taken up a few notches for a one-off feast at Quincy Melbourne this month. On Saturday, July 23, Sky-High Tea takes over the hotel's 28th-floor lounge bar The Q, plating up a sumptuous spread fusing flavours from across Japan, Hong Kong and Thailand.

Across one two-hour sitting, guests will tuck into high tea with a tasty twist, swapping out the standard finger sandwiches for innovative bites like nahm jim chicken skewers, cauliflower and shiso fritters, tuna and prawn sesame cups with chilli jam, curried egg sandos, and chilli chocolate tarts.

There won't be a dainty cuppa in sight — rather, the bar's using Tea Drop's fun tea blends to create a menu of limited-edition tea cocktails. Think, a reworked Tom Collins, the mandarin and Earl Grey caprioska, and a chai-infused milk-based whisky concoction.

Tickets are $69 per person, which includes a goodie bag to take home.
