A Tranquil Escape Above the Clouds, A Luxurious Start to a Radiant Future
Changsha, China, 7 November 2025 - The art of time reveals itself above the clouds. This winter, embark on a sensory journey of taste and beauty at The Tea Lounge, renowned for its stunning skyline views. Niccolo Changsha partners with La Prairie, the prestigious Swiss luxury skincare house to present the 'Eternal Ritual' themed afternoon tea. Inspired by La Prairie's timeless elegance, Hotel Pastry Chef Kennedy and the team have curated an exquisite selection that captures this refined spirit.
The 'Eternal Ritual' themed afternoon tea features six bespoke desserts, four creative savouries and seasonal fruits, thoughtfully blending Western and Chinese flavours with local elements, paired with your choice of premium coffee or tea. Its visual presentation draws inspiration from La Prairie's philosophy of timeless beauty and the pristine natural landscapes of Swiss. The Jasmine Mousse, Vanilla mimics La Prairie's signature caviar element on top, while the base — crafted with a velvety texture — resembles a luxurious jewellery box, enveloping floral and milky notes in every bite. The Cheese Cake, Bailey's pays homage to the iconic Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps. Delicate shades of blue on the snow-capped peak reflect the mountain's changing hues under shifting light and shadow — a harmonious blend of nature's splendour and artistic elegance. The Milk Chocolate, Mango mirrors Lake Geneva's serene surface, adorned with handcrafted chocolate feathers resembling swans gliding across shimmering waters — recreating a scene of graceful tranquillity here in Changsha. The Prawn Salad, Caviar features a playful twist: a spicy Changsha-style egg yolk mayo that complements the sweet prawn and rich caviar perfectly. Each bite combines the pop of pearl-like caviar and the crisp freshness of prawn, enveloped in this silky sauce for an unforgettable experience of taste and texture.
Begin your elegant winter pampering journey at Niccolo Changsha and savour an artistic interpretation of time. The 'Eternal Ritual' themed afternoon tea is priced at RMB 488 per set for two guests. Guests are welcome to visit The Tea Lounge on the 93rd floor for this elevated experience, available daily from 1 to 5.30 pm. Each set includes a complimentary 50-minute La Prairie luxury facial treatment voucher and a RMB 500 product voucher (valid with minimum purchase).
