A Luxurious Autumn Experience

This year, we invite you to indulge in a beautifully crafted three-tiered afternoon tea, featuring an array of delectable sweets and savory delights. At the heart of this exquisite offering is the signature "Chestnut Mont Blanc Parfait".

The Mont Blanc parfait serves as a stunning centerpiece, built on a foundation of chocolate ice cream sourced from Ghanaian cacao. This luscious treat is topped with a whole chestnut, silky whipped cream, and fruity chocolate cream, all harmoniously balanced with a refreshing mandarin puree. With each mouthful, you'll experience the sweet warmth of chestnuts mingling with chocolate and the subtle tartness of fresh fruit, perfectly evoking the spirit of autumn.

Fall Sweets Showcase

Signature Dessert: Mont Blanc Parfait

Crafted with care, the Mont Blanc parfait showcases the fabulous chestnuts and chocolate in a delightful way. At its base, the rich Ghanaian cacao ice cream provides a deep, creamy foundation, complemented by a whole chestnut, light cream, and a touch of fruity chocolate. Topped with Madagascar cacao chocolate sauce and mandarin puree, this dessert perfectly captures the sweetness of chestnuts and the freshness of citrus. A hint of piparisse meringue adds an elegant note of texture and flavor variation to cleanse your palate.

Chocolate and Cacao Tasting

Alongside the sweets, guests are invited to sample six distinctive styles of chocolate and cacao, each with unique flavor profiles: Nutty, Fruity, Savory, High Cacao, Classic, and Nibs. This tasting experience allows you to appreciate the subtle nuances of cacao sourced from around the world and understand how different origins influence chocolate's flavor.
