In terms of overall experience, a five-star hotel is undoubtedly an excellent choice for enjoying English afternoon tea. Comfortable environment, elegant and quiet atmosphere, courteous waiters, exquisite refreshments, these can satisfy your beautiful expectations for afternoon tea time. Mandarin Oriental's Tea Lounge is one of the most recommended afternoon tea hotels in Guangzhou. Seasoned foodies who are well versed in the art of English afternoon tea will tell you that a good afternoon tea restaurant should have a good reputation dessert shop as a strong backing. Almost every Mandarin Oriental in the world has its own Mandarin Cake Shop, with Hong Kong's Mandarin Cake Shop being the most famous, known as the "Cartier of the dessert world". The production of Guangzhou Mandarin Cake Shop is also very good, and it is highly praised in the Guangzhou dessert industry. Olivier Paris, the current Executive Pastry Chef, has many years of experience in Michelin-starred restaurants and has served as Executive Pastry Chef at The Peninsula Bangkok and The Peninsula Beijing, where he is well versed in all kinds of confectionery, French pastry and Western desserts. In addition, Mandarin Oriental hotels around the world have close food and beverage exchanges, so that customers can enjoy excellent afternoon tea meals from all over the world in Guangzhou. Located on the ground floor of the hotel, Tea Lounge is the lobby lounge of Mandarin Oriental, Guangzhou, serving tea and light snacks, next to the hotel's dessert shop, the Mandarin Pastry Room. The afternoon tea at Yue Cha Ju comes from the Mandarin Cake Room, where the afternoon tea snacks are exquisite in shape and surprising in taste. Scones are available in two flavors, plain and raisin, which are soft and dry and fragrant, and will not drop residue, and the matching cream sauce, strawberry jam, and lemon curd add a rich taste layer of sweetness, aroma and sourness to the scones. There is also orange blossom madeleine, freshly baked, soft and fragrant, with slightly charred edges, chewy and crispy. The savory snack is not just a few sandwiches, but a very delicate snack that can be picked up with your thumb and put in your mouth in one bite, and the rich taste combination is surprising. Scones, orange blossom madeleines and savoury snacks are all exclusive meals for Joy Tea House English Afternoon Tea and are worth recommending. There are about four kinds of desserts in the afternoon tea set, so that diners can taste delicious desserts without getting too tired, so each one is made very finely, the size is only one-third of the ordinary desserts, and the taste is exactly the same as the original version sold in the pastry shop. The Afternoon Tea Set includes coffee and tea, as well as alcohol if desired. The tea in the package is brewed from TWG tea bags, TWG's tea bags are made of pure cotton material, which can give full play to the aroma of tea, and the filtration function is better than that of ordinary tea bags. Although you can add unlimited water to the brewed tea with TWG tea bags at Yue Cha House, the taste of the tea will begin to fade when you reach the third pot, and the aroma and taste of the first brew will be lost. Moreover, the hotel waiter will come to refill the water from time to time, which is undoubtedly an excessive "meticulousness" for guests who are more concerned about the quality of tea. In addition, the waiters are very flexible and can try to meet the needs of guests, and the overall level of service is worthy of recognition. Afternoon tea at Joy Tea House is very popular, and it is recommended to book in advance by phone. Due to the large number of diners on weekends, afternoon tea on weekends is divided into two periods: 14:30 and 16:30, and no time slot on weekdays. In addition, the Ebony restaurant on the fourth floor of the hotel also serves afternoon tea, which is no different from Yue Cha Ju, which can only be used when Yue Cha Ju is full, and it is usually the main afternoon tea dining place with Yue Cha Ju.
