Xiamen, China, 1 January, 2025 – Recently, Marco Polo Xiamen launched Chinese New Year Afternoon Tea. Aimed at providing guests with a taste of the festive atmosphere and exquisite flavors of the Spring Festival, this offering seamlessly integrates traditional Lunar New Year elements with the elegant afternoon tea culture.
The exquisitely crafted pastries are not only a delicious treat but also a display of art. The Hawthorn Mousse, inspired by the traditional snack of Tanghulu, offers a sweet and sour taste that instantly evokes childhood memories. The Jasmine Raspberry Mousse, shaped like an adorable little lucky pouch, is not only visually appealing but also symbolizes an abundance of good fortune. The Strawberry Yogurt Mousse, designed in the shape inspired by red envelopes, implies prosperity in the New Year. The freshness of strawberries and the richness of yogurt complement each other, and the mousse has a light texture that melts in the mouth. Additionally, a variety of cute-shaped desserts and savoury items suitable for the festival are available, bringing good luck to those who enjoy them in the New Year.
The Chinese New Year afternoon tea at Marco Polo Xiamen will be available until February 28, 2025, priced at CNY288 per set.
