Niccolo Suzhou

Dining, 3 July 2023
Suzhou, China, 20 June 2023 – Purple exudes a romantic and enigmatic aura, making it an essential embellishment to special occasions. Lavender, with its pervasive fragrance and ethereal romance, blooms during this season. From 26 June to 30 September, Niccolo Suzhou presents the Lavender Summer Afternoon Tea inspired by the vibrant summer season to tantalize your taste buds. The entire afternoon tea set is based on different hues of romantic "purple" and Niccolo "white". Guests can savour the summer afternoons amidst the clouds on the 115th floor of the hotel, indulging in gentle and enigmatic dreams.

The Lavender Summer Afternoon Tea is custom created by Laem Liu, Pastry Chef of Niccolo Suzhou, which is priced from CNY 528 per set. It includes five customized savoury snacks and seven summer-themed desserts, as well as the chef's recommendation of sweet potato ice cream and osmanthus purple sweet potato yam cake for passing around. In addition, the afternoon tea set also includes Manchego cheese scones, pecan financer and a selection of coffees and teas. With an additional CNY 100, guests can also enjoy 10g of exclusive Niccolo Caviar and two glasses of mocktails for more luxurious indulgence.

Lavender Summer Afternoon Tea Special:
When flowers and fashion are intertwined, noble and romantic; together they present a unique summer glow. Using blueberries, vanilla, purple rice, coconut, orange blossoms and other ingredients, Laem has created a sweet and sour blueberry cheesecake, soft and creamy red bean vanilla macarons, fragrant purple rice vanilla mousse, layers of coconut sago marshmallows, and a unique orange blossom white chocolate cake with osmanthus gel for dessert lovers to enjoy.
The customized savoury snacks of the afternoon tea feature high-end ingredients and also offer ham & salad mille-feuille, foie gras "Ferrero", prawns, white grape vinegar caviar, marinated salmon mousse, mascarpone cheese, nuts and truffle cream. Sweet and salty desserts are a clever combination for a pleasant summer afternoon.
In addition, chef's recommendation - summer fresh fruit cup, mixed with fresh berries and refreshing passionfruit, is indeed a must-have item for summer. There is also a live delivery of purple sweet potato ice cream and osmanthus purple sweet potato yam cake at the entrance, which adds a full sense of happiness to the afternoon teatime.
