Bubbles for Bosoms 2014

TEALEAVES has partnered with Four Seasons Vancouver’s YEW seafood + bar and Absolut Vodka to present “Bubbles for Bosoms” throughout the month of October to raise awareness and funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

$2 of every Bubbles for Bosoms drink sold at Four Seasons Vancouver will go to the cause.


According to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation,


“1 in 9 women in Canada is expected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime (by the age of 90) [and] 1 in 4 (26%) cancers diagnosed in women in Canada are breast cancer. Breast cancer continues to be the most common cancer diagnosis in women in Canada over the age of 20 and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Canadian women, after lung cancer.”

Think Pink & Drink

Bubbles for Bosoms is part of Four Seasons’ hotels and resorts’ “Think Pink” (#FSthinkpink) initiative which benefits local breast cancer charities, enabling guests to “eat and drink for the cure”, from pastries and dishes to drinks. The initiative leverages the culinary teams’ creativity in support of a great cause.

About Breast Cancer

By offering support and information services for breast cancer patients and their families, The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society strive to fight back against cancer. The organizations also lead breast cancer prevention initiatives, advocate for cancer-related issues, and fund world-class breast cancer research.

A Glass Modelled after a Breast?

From a champagne coupe to a champagne flute, Bubbles for Bosoms was initially held in a coupe as a cheeky nod to the myth behind the glass. Legend has it that the coupe was molded from a breast of Marie Antoinette, so her court could toast to her health. The coupe was one of the first glasses invented specifically for drinking champagne.
