Chengdu, China, 30 November 2024 – Niccolo Chengdu partners with the iconic, luxury department store, Lane Crawford to present the Christmas Afternoon Tea.

A collection of exclusive gifts is also available for guests to explore. Savour this signature afternoon tea and join us on a holiday adventure filled with joy and mischief.

Invasion of Baz & Friends

The Tea Lounge is surrounded by the 9-metre-high French style floor-to-ceiling glass walls, inspired by the exquisite diamond box. Dangling from the top is the “Breeze Bird”, an installation artwork created by artist Hirotoshi Sawada from the Studio Sawada Design. With dazzling interior light, The Tea Lounge is Chengdu’s stylish venue for guests in search of the quintessential tea experience. Taste exquisite afternoon tea while discovering festive decor, exclusive gifts, and holiday cheer all under one roof at The Tea Lounge.

Desserts of afternoon tea

Una Zhang, the hotel's pastry chef, together with her team, crafts the quintessential Christmas afternoon tea set, presented on the three-layer plate stand that brings both gastronomic and visual pleasure. The six custom-made desserts are a showcase of the festive spirit from Lane Crawford. The lemon ginger baz, a tribute to the holiday hoarder Baz, is a fusion of refreshing lemon with a subtle hint of ginger, which will leave an unforgettable surprise on your palate. The aromatic chestnut mousse, with a light and airy texture, is best paired with a delightful cup of Earl Grey tea. Chocolate strawberry cake, apple mousse with blackcurrant and cinnamon, and tart with raspberry, pistachio & chantilly will gently whisk you away to a leisurely afternoon. The afternoon tea set also brims with an array of moreish savouries. The chef's special Maryland crab cakes and Christmas turkey & foie gras mousse are ready to enrich your culinary experience. While ham and cheese balls add an exciting taste, the freshly baked milk & grape scones will keep you extra warm in the cold season. The Christmas Afternoon Tea set offers a range of scrumptious delights including desserts, savories, and themed drinks such as hot cocoa and a Christmas latte. Indulge in a joyful holiday with our sumptuous afternoon tea.
