An Exquisite Spring Tea Experience at Hyatt Regency Tokyo

As spring awakens and transports us towards the fresh embrace of early summer, the Hyatt Regency Tokyo introduces a seasonal gem: the Citrus Blossom Afternoon Tea in collaboration with the illustrious Pierre Hermé Paris. Commencing on April 1, 2026, this exclusive afternoon tea event showcases not only culinary delights but an enchanting ambiance that mirrors the blossoming nature of the season.

A Symphony of Citrus and Floral Delights

The Citrus Blossom Afternoon Tea is a vibrant celebration of flavors, embodying the essence of spring. This carefully curated collection features a delightful interplay of citrus aromas and floral undertones, manifesting the beauty of the changing seasons. Guests are invited to indulge in intricately crafted pastries, alongside savory treats that complement the sweets elegantly.

Designed by Pierre Hermé Paris, this exquisite tea consists of seven thoughtfully designed sweets—each a sculpture of flavor that plays seamlessly with contrasting tastes, like refreshing acidity, subtle bitterness, and gentle sweetness. Each sweet is an artistic representation of their renowned approach to confectionery, which emphasizes the design of fragrances.

Among the notable creations, you’ll find:
1. Tarte infiniment Yuzu - A citrus cream layered with yuzu confit, offering a refreshing depth.
2. Millefeuille Jardin de la Tapisserie - A lively and elegant millefeuille infused with lemon and orange blossom.
3. Emotion Ispahan - This iconic piece harmonizes lychee, rose, and raspberry, exemplifying Hermé’s signature style.
4. Cheesecake Satin - A light cheesecake with the refreshing aromas of passion fruit and orange marmalade.
5. Chocolat Arabella - A chocolate creation accentuated with hazelnut praline, banana, and ginger.
6. Choux Envi - A delightful choux filled with mascarpone cream flavored with vanilla and violet, adorned with vibrant berries.
7. Macaron Jardin de Mizo - Featuring jasmine-flavored cream paired with wild strawberry compote, this sweet offers a delicate finish.
