Spring has officially sprung at The Langham, Melbourne, and with it comes an exhilarating new chapter in the beloved tradition of Afternoon Tea. Under the meticulous guidance of Executive Pastry Chef Markus Bohm, the iconic venue has launched its all-new Spring Afternoon Tea, infusing freshness and creativity into this cherished ritual.
With a nod to the Pastry Académie, Chef Markus has crafted a menu that not only tantalises the taste buds but also delights the eyes. Each exquisite creation is a testament to the artistry and passion that define The Langham’s culinary offerings. This season’s Afternoon Tea features three standout creations that promise to elevate your experience to new heights.
- Strawberry & Lime Turret – A delicate white chocolate mousse filled with lemon curd and a strawberry-lime confit insert, placed on a strawberry sable, and glazed with a zesty lime finish.
- Apricot & Peach Delice Tart – Featuring a caramel short crust base, apricot compote, smooth peach mousse, and topped with a glossy apricot and peach jelly.
- Rose & Lychee Dome – The signature Langham pink creation: lychee and raspberry mousse paired with baked cheesecake on a pink rice puff base, as playful as it is sophisticated.
“This menu represents more than just a new season, it’s the outcome of true culinary collaboration,” said Markus Bohm. “Working alongside our colleagues from across the Pacific through the Afternoon Tea Académie, we’ve created something both globally inspired and locally celebrated.”
Of course, no Afternoon Tea is complete without an array of finely cut sandwiches, freshly baked scones served with luscious, clotted cream and seasonal jams, and a selection of the finest teas. The Langham’s curated tea list includes an impressive variety, ensuring that every palate is catered to, from classic blends to unique infusions.
Set against the backdrop of The Langham’s opulent surroundings, this new Spring Afternoon Tea is more than just a meal; it’s an experience.
