This year, Jumeirah Carlton Tower in London invites patrons to mark Afternoon Tea Week with two inspired afternoon teas.
From 11th to 17th August, Jumeirah Carlton Tower and Brighton’s iconic vegetarian restaurant, Terre à Terre are set to tempt guests with a unique twist on the quintessential British tradition.
Indeed, both experiences promise to surprise and delight with every bite.
Jumeirah Carlton Tower: Taking tea in nature
Inspired by the beauty of Cadogan Gardens and under the direction of executive pastry chef Martin Haider, Jumeirah Carlton Tower’s afternoon tea pays tribute to the gardens’ quiet splendour and rich history.
Beginning with a vibrant amuse-bouche, the experience then delves into a selection of savoury sandwiches, before taking diners on a journey through the signature Scone Experience, wrapping up with intricate sweet treats infused with seasonal botanicals such as elderberry, lavender, and cherry blossom.
This reimagined afternoon tea offers a truly luxurious experience, celebrating the beauty of the seasons in every element.
Terre à Terre: Where tradition gets a glow-up
For something a little more adventurous, Terre à Terre offers a zesty and creative spin on the classic afternoon tea.
With vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options to choose from, this innovative tea features global-inspired delights including bao buns with Szechuan-marinated halloumi or tofu, and indulgent sweet treats such as a delightful chocolate hazelnut truffle cake.
Perfect for those who love bold flavours and unique combinations, this scrumptious afternoon tea is a celebration of creativity and sustainable dining, with every detail crafted to delight.
