Wizard Afternoon Tea®
How it works
Wizard Afternoon Tea® at The Cauldron® NYC is a social-distance friendly, interactive tea-brewing experience where you step into the imagined worlds of your childhood through the subtle science of tea brewing, molecular gastronomy, and technology. It has been specially designed for social distancing!
Spell Casting: After selecting your magic wand, you are led to an interactive work station where you cast spells with your wand to control your tea stand and open your locked puzzle chest, which contains your ingredients.
Tea Brewing: During your time with us you will brew two different types of interactive teas, the first of which focuses on transfiguration and second of which has been designed to encourage experimentation and iteration for finding the perfect blend for your palette. You can expect to be hands-on with your tea and use all of your senses.
Confectionary Delights: Your Wizard Afternoon Tea® Experience includes a scone and a carefully curated selection of sandwitches, and desserts. These may be items you've never tried or even heard of before, and we've baked molecular gastronomy into this other-worldy tea experience!
Wizard Afternoon Tea® Tickets include:
- magic wand and equipment rental,
- two interactive teas that you brew,
- scone and a curated selection of sandwitches, and desserts, and
- the 1hr 45min interactive experience.
