In addition, specially curated Cape Arid Tea Blends and a CA Horizon Gin will be unveiled with the Seal Creek edition.
Cape Arid Tea Blends
The Cape Arid Rooms and Teassential have partnered to bring the essence of the finest regional flavours home. Guided by the beauty and abundance of Mother Nature’s southern-most Western Australian parklands, each of the blends, available to take-home, are inspired by the different Cape Arid Rooms afternoon tea editions.
CA Horizon Gin
Bottled by Australia’s smallest gin distillery – Esperance Distillery Co, CA Horizon Gin is inspired by Philippa Nikulinsy’s exquisite artistic expressions of the area, and the unique formulation of an exciting and vibrant recipe.
The philosophy of Cape Arid Rooms is centred upon inviting guests to embark on a culinary escapade to the deep southern Cape Arid National Park, crafted through the exquisite lens of renowned Western Australian artists, Philippa and Alex Nikulinsky.
