Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong Unveils Artistic Afternoon Tea in Collaboration with SAUVEREIGN

 
October 7, 2024,
Hong Kong, China

In a harmonious blend of culinary artistry and haute couture, The Lounge at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong presents an exquisite afternoon tea experience in partnership with luxury maison brand SAUVEREIGN. This limited-time offering, available from October 1 through November 30, 2024, draws inspiration from SAUVEREIGN's latest KLY64 Gem collection, paying tribute to the iconic works of American artist Ellsworth Kelly.

A Palette of Flavours

SAUVEREIGN KLY64 is an exquisite assemblage of 15 distinct sculptural ornaments, or gems, unique and signature to the maison, standing as the aesthetic cornerstone of this afternoon tea experience. Expertly curated by Executive Chef Maxime Luvara, the savoury course tantalizes the palate with a harmonious blend of flavours and textures. Guests will savour delicate morsels of smoked salmon adorned with cream cheese and glistening salmon roe, alongside an innovative pairing of egg with wasabi mayonnaise, crowned with luxurious Kristal caviar. The savoury journey continues with rich duck rillettes accompanied by foie gras, and culminates in a warm offering of baked Parisian ham embraced by creamy Brie cheese.

Meanwhile, the sweet assortment, crafted by Executive Pastry Chef Ringo Chan, presents a symphony of tastes and textures that pay homage to Kelly's vibrant palette. A chestnut and grapefruit creation offers a delightful interplay of earthy and citrus notes, while the honey-yoghurt and pistachio confection provides a harmonious balance of sweetness and nuttiness. The forest berry macaron adds a touch of whimsy with its vibrant hue and delicate crunch, and a mandarin-caramel chocolate tart rounds out the selection with its rich, velvety texture.

No afternoon tea would be complete without scones. Both classic and raisin varieties are served warm, accompanied by house-made lychee and rose jam, traditional red berries jam, and sumptuous Devonshire cream, providing a perfect conclusion to this culinary journey.
