The Orchid Lounge at Pan Pacific Hotel London

Experience a taste of freshness this summer at Pan Pacific London, with its spectacular Summer Garden Afternoon Tea Collection.

Paying homage to the hotel's Singaporean roots, the signature option 'Kopi Tiam' features South Eastern Asian savoury delicacies including pillowy steamed lotus buns, stuffed with salted egg yolk and custard sauce, a steamed sweet potato bun topped with coconut flakes and a siu mai of prawn, beef, spinach and mushroom dumplings.

Exquisite sweet patisserie options make for an indulgent yet fresh finish, featuring summer garden ingredients. Mint Breeze is refreshing with flavours of hand-cut mint, lime and rum while Basil Smash is a delicate combination of British-grown basil and strawberries with a citrusy kalamansi. Lemon Drop offers a crisp, zesty taste with lemon verbena, topped with raspberry 'soil' and peach. Tropical Storm then perfectly balances dulce blond chocolate with banana and mango to create a sublime summer delight.

For specific dietary requirements or allergies, a "free from" version of Summer Garden Afternoon Tea is also available and packed with the same amount of creativity and flavours as the originals.

Tea connoisseurs can take their pick from an extensive list of teas from The Rare Tea Company, with The Orchid Lounge's Bespoke Blend - a perfect mix of Loose Leaf Indian & Malawian Black Tea, Chinese Oolong Tea and Indian Rose Petals - a must-try. Alternatively, cool down with a glass of something chilled such as Champagne or English sparkling wine.
