The enhanced Afternoon Tea experience at The Pfister hotel in downtown Milwaukee is unlike that of any other hotel. Now in Blu on the 23rd floor of the Pfister, surrounded by panoramic views of Milwaukee and Lake Michigan, treat yourself to a relaxing afternoon of grand elegance. Afternoon tea features Liif Tea with five menu options including a classic Victorian Tea.
To further set apart The Pfister’s tea experience, the position of Tea Butler was created to facilitate the social and interactive tea experience. The Tea Butler’s role is to speak about the varieties of tea, the countries of origin and unique flavors, the ways that tea affects mood and health, and to offer food and flavor pairing suggestions to go with the varieties of tea. The process of creating unique tableside tea blends provides a creative and personal experience. During each tea experience, the Tea Butler will visit the table with a gueridon service trolley to explain the tea, discuss tableside blending options and offer tealeaf samples so the guests may enjoy the distinctive aromas of each variety. The Tea Butlers use an all-silver service, including a replica of an 18th century self-tipping teapot. To ensure that individual tea varieties are brewed to the correct temperature, individual brewing units are used for the different styles of teas.
