Waldorf Astoria Beijing | Encounter the Winter Fufu Afternoon Tea.

In the cold winter, I stepped into the Waldorf Astoria Beijing for the new season's co-branded "Fufu Winter Afternoon Tea". The hotel is elegant, with Christmas decorations adding to the charm. After taking a seat, the staggered desserts come into view, like exquisite works of art. Among the savory snacks, the "Almond Foie Gras Napoleon" stands out, with thin, crispy pastry sandwiched with delicate foie gras that melts in your mouth. The crushed almonds add fragrance and flavor, and the salty and fresh flavors blend on the tip of the tongue. The "Chestnut Blueberry Pinecone" is ingenious, with soft and sweet chestnut puree and sweet and sour blueberry sauce. The pinecone shape is lifelike, as if you are tasting fresh chestnuts in a winter forest. The "Grape Fufu" is cute and adorable, with sweet and soft grape mousse. A light bite is like biting into a whole bunch of purple grapes, with the fruity aroma overflowing. Tea or coffee paired with desserts relieves the greasiness and brings out the layers. The street scene outside the window is bustling, while the warm fragrance lingers inside. Here, afternoon tea outlines a leisurely afternoon, worth savoring slowly.
