Join us for another enchanting Royal Afternoon Tea - our signature five-course experience where every bite is thoughtfully matched with the perfect steep. Hosted in the elegant front room of Aixois, this event celebrates the warmth and comfort of winter through rich, seasonal flavors and a curated selection of teas from Tea Market, just a short stroll down the block.
 
Each course has been crafted to showcase the cozy, comforting tastes of the season, and each tea is hand-selected to complement and enhance its pairing:
 
First Course: Cranberry, Pecan & Orange Zest Scone with Butter
  Paired with Thankful Black Tea
Second Course: Creamy Butternut Squash Bisque
  Paired with White Pomegranate White Tea
Third Course: Hot Ham & Cheese Slider on a Soft Bun with Honey Mustard and Pickle

  Paired with KC Summer Green Tea
Fifth Course: Pumpkin Spice Cake Square with Cream Cheese Frosting

The opportunity to partner with Aixois French Restaurant brings together the art of fine dining and the ritual of tea. We’ll gather in their beautifully appointed front room—reserved exclusively for our event—to savor the exquisite dishes prepared by Chef Emmanuel Langlade, one of Kansas City’s most beloved chefs.
 
As each course and tea are presented, Stacie will share stories about each blend—how it enhances the dish, where it comes from, and how to steep it perfectly at home. You’ll receive a sample of each tea to recreate your own cozy tea ritual long after the event.
 
Guests will also enjoy 10% off their entire purchase at Tea Market the day of the event—perfect for stocking up on winter favorites or gifting to fellow tea lovers.
 
Now for the “royal” touch—tradition calls for a sparkling adult beverage to elevate the occasion. You’ll have the option to add a glass of Brut Champagne, available for purchase through Aixois, because winter celebrations deserve a little extra sparkle.
