Indulge in Renaissance-Themed Autumn Afternoon Tea at Afternoon Tea Tearoom

As the leaves turn and autumn sets in, Afternoon Tea Tearoom is excited to present a delightful collaboration with the prestigious Louvre Museum's Renaissance exhibition. This limited-time event is inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, "La Belle Ferronnière,” and offers a unique dining experience filled with exquisite flavors and artistic presentations.

The launch date for this enticing afternoon tea experience is set for September 3, 2026, and it will run through the end of October. It's not just about tea; it's about celebrating the essence of the Renaissance through taste, aroma, and color. The sweets crafted for this season reflect the rich themes of this artistic era.

Artistic Inspirations and Seasonal Delights

The standout during this event is the "Chestnut Short Cake," which translates the delicate adornments of the painting into a delicious dessert. This creation features layers of fluffy chocolate sponge, chestnut cream made from Italian chestnuts, diplomat cream, ganache, and raspberry confiture, resulting in a perfect autumn flavor that will tantalize your taste buds.

In addition to the Chestnut Short Cake, guests will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of other artistic creations presented in two distinct phases throughout the autumn months. The first phase includes treats like the "Grape and Tea Blancmange" and the "Raspberry Petit Parfait," while the second phase introduces delightful new options such as the "Sweet Potato Mont Blanc Tart with Tea Whip" and the "La France and Shine Muscat Petit Parfait."

Refreshing Beverages

Complementing the afternoon tea is the exclusive "Grape and Berry Gelée Tea Soda," inspired by the elegant dress of the woman in "La Belle Ferronnière." This refreshing concoction combines grape rooibos tea with a delightful hibiscus gelée, topped with fresh raspberries for a vibrant burst of flavor. Perfect for a relaxing tea time!
