There may be no high tea at the Fairmont in DC tough! Tell the Ritz, Brown's Dorchester in London that there is no such thing as HIgh Tea and they will have a fainting spell. It is alive and well and is an institution in the UK as well as countries in the British Commonwealth. If you try to borrow our customs don't tell us where we went wrong. In fact I am not sure you understand High Tea at all. You have it all wrong -- Kerry Vincent.
