Beau-Tea: A Celebration of Creativity and Connection

As part of our Beau-Tea campaign, we look back at the inspiring events that brought people together through art, flowers, and fine tea. Guests first explored their creativity in an art workshop led by Kim Black, where they painted beautiful fynbos-inspired pieces. This was followed by a hands-on floral workshop with Adene Flowers and Anli Wahl, who guided attendees in creating elegant flower arrangements. The experience was perfectly rounded off with Cape Grace’s iconic afternoon tea – a moment of beauty, creativity, and connection.
