Indulge in Summer Delights at Afternoon Tea
The Afternoon Tea Tea Room, operated by Ivy Company, located in Shibuya, Tokyo, welcomes the peach season with an exciting new menu. Starting June 25, guests will have the opportunity to savor a variety of summer desserts and teas inspired by the sweet and fragrant peach.
Highlight of the Summer Menu: The star of this seasonal offering is the "Peach and Raspberry Blancmange Parfait". This delightful dessert features a creamy milk blancmange layered with succulent peach sauce, raspberry sauce, and finished with a generous scoop of peach gelato. The parfait is topped with a light whipped cream made from lychee and sour cream, complemented by a delectable crunchy tea crumble that adds a nice touch to its overall texture.
Also joining the lineup is the airy "Peach and Earl Grey Shortcake", which showcases fluffy sponge cake filled with Earl Grey whipped cream, and the wonderfully refreshing "Peach Milk Tea Lassi Float", a delightful treat combining fragrant peach milk tea with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The Afternoon Tea Set, available year-round, includes a choice of classic scones crafted from domestically sourced flour and timeless favorites like apple pie alongside seasonal offerings such as the mini parfait and raspberry scone sandwich.

In addition to these mouthwatering treats, customers can also participate in the annual "Summer Tea Festival". This event presents three new tea creations based on the popular cold brew flavor "Chardonnay Darjeeling". The new offerings include "Chardonnay Darjeeling Fruit Tea," "Chardonnay Darjeeling Tea Float," and "Chardonnay Darjeeling Sparkling Tea," all designed to bring a refreshing twist to your summer afternoons.
The Chardonnay Darjeeling Fruit Tea combines the refreshing essence of cold brew with a medley of fresh fruits like lime, pineapple, peach, and blueberry, while the Tea Float provides an indulgent experience with sorbet and fruit toppings. For something sparkly, the Sparkling Tea adds bubbles to this flavorful celebration, ensuring a delightful summer tea time.
