Tea Tales at Dim Sum Library.
We've seen dinosaur afternoon teas and even Wimbledon-inspired afternoon teas, but Dim Sum Library has launched a Chinese-inspired afternoon tea that swaps the traditional spread for delicious dim sum, teas, and even a game of chance.
Dubbed Tea Tales, this experience invites you to roll a die to determine your tea destiny before taking you on a uniquely curated food journey.
