The Italian restaurant presents an exclusive tea set with treats made with black truffles

This summer, Gradini at The Pottinger Hong Kong will be presenting its first co-branded afternoon tea with esteemed cosmetics brand Estée Lauder. The collaboration is inspired by the brand’s luxurious Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond collection, where some of the afternoon tea treats will feature black truffle as a central ingredient.

Available from now until 30 September, the afternoon tea treats are designed by the restaurant’s executive chef Cano Chan. Inspired by the exclusive beauty line, a sophisticated spread of savouries and pastries featuring this edible black diamond are designed to tantalise diners. The unique collection of savoury bites include mini lobster sandwich with black truffle mayonnaise, slow-cooked oxtail vol-au-vent with black truffle gravy, 36-month San Daniele ham with truffle honey and fig and black truffle with mascarpone cheese open-face sandwich. Chan also surprises dessert lovers with an enticing selection of dainty desserts including glittering chocolate truffle, les chouchous cream puff, mini cheesecake, and gold moscato jelly with mixed berries foam. Guests can also choose between freshly brewed coffee or a selection of premium assorted loose-leaf teas by TWG. For extended enjoyment, each afternoon tea guest will also receive a complimentary voucher to a Re-Nutriv Face or Eye Massage Service at Estée Lauder beauty boutique. This exclusive afternoon tea set is available daily from 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm, and is priced at HK$218 per person.
