A Sweet Temptation: The Chocolate Parfait with Tea Aroma at Hotel Granvia Kyoto

The Hotel Granvia Kyoto, guided by General Manager Satoru Miura, is thrilled to announce the launch of its Chocolate Parfait with Tea Aroma. This limited-edition treat will be available at the Grand Jour lounge on the 2nd floor from February 1 to 28, 2026. This enthralling parfait is poised to be an exquisite treat, especially for Valentine's Day, allowing guests to savor the intricate balance of flavors and textures.

A Culinary Masterpiece

The Chocolate Parfait with Tea Aroma is a visual and gastronomic delight, meticulously crafted to resemble a piece of art. Utilizing Ronnefeldt tea, the herbal notes of the tea-infused cream harmoniously layer with the rich cacao flavors found in high-quality Valrhona chocolate, which is also utilized in the creation of fresh chocolate pieces. Guests will experience the sweetness of domestic strawberries combined with a variety of textures that are carefully presented.

An Overview of Layers

The parfait is a multi-layered creation that captures the essence of both chocolate and tea:

• - Top Layer: Adorning the parfait are decadent heart-shaped pieces of dark and white chocolate along with silky Belgian chocolate ice cream. Around the ice cream, fresh domestic strawberries envelop the glass. The tea-infused cream features Nuwara Eliya from Sri Lanka, simmered in milk, offering a rich, creamy texture that elevates the sweet and tangy flavor profiles of the strawberries, making for a luxurious and indulgent experience.

• - Lower Layer: The lower components feature thick, moist chocolate mousse complemented with crispy granola. This delightful combination mingles with the creamy tea and strawberry sauces, enriching the overall flavor complexity. Following this, guests will find a refreshing white wine jelly accompanied by strawberries, which transitions elegantly to the Valrhona chocolate mousse. This mousse utilizes two varieties of Valrhona chocolate: the Guana chocolate known for its intense bitterness and the well-balanced, fruity Caraibe chocolate, creating a deep and aromatic chocolate experience.
