Autumn's Natural Sweetness: Four Seasons Hotel Beijing Presents a Seasonal Afternoon Tea

As autumn arrives and the season settles into a quieter, more delicate rhythm, the harvest brings with it an abundance of comforting flavours. At Opus Lounge, Four Seasons Hotel Beijing welcomes the season with a specially curated afternoon tea, bringing together the natural sweetness and gentle richness of autumn. Autumn pear, sweet chestnut, and citrus capture the season in their own distinctive ways, offering a refreshing expression of its softer side.

A generous selection of savoury creations brings together flavours from land and sea for a leisurely afternoon. A soft brioche roll is filled with succulent lobster, with fragrant herb butter enhancing the natural sweetness of the seafood. Cured snapper is paired with homemade crispy potato and tartar sauce for a delicate interplay of freshness and texture.

An elegant egg salad sandwich with caviar offers a refined savoury richness, while tuna salad with capers is layered between squid ink bread for added depth. Crab stick and creamy potato salad are paired with tomato sponge bread, bringing a touch of bright, fruity character. A wild mushroom sandwich finished with aged balsamic offers a deeper, more savoury note.

The sweet selection captures the warmth and gentle sweetness of an autumn afternoon. The Citrus and Chestnut Tart brings together the mellow richness of chestnut with the bright freshness of citrus. Layers of delicate pastry and rich cocoa come together in the Opera Mille-Feuille, while the Pistachio and Raspberry Saint-Honoré balances nutty richness with the vibrant tartness of berries.

Petite Madeleines reveal a delicate signature shell shape and a warm buttery aroma. The Autumn Pear Cake takes inspiration from the fruit’s natural freshness and subtle sweetness, playfully shaped like a pear to bring a touch of seasonal charm to the table.

The afternoon tea is completed with freshly baked plain and raisin scones, served warm with silky clotted cream, strawberry jam, and orange jam. Buttery and tender, they offer the perfect finishing touch to a leisurely afternoon ritual.

Starting September 21, 2026, Autumn’s Natural Sweetness afternoon tea will be served at Opus Lounge (Opus Lounge - TableCheck), Four Seasons Hotel Beijing, priced at CNY 388 per person or CNY 588 for two. For further information, please contact Opus Lounge at +86 (10) 5695 8532.
