<i>For those of you that are perhaps less familiar with our blog, Chelsie and I are on a quest to share with you all the very best locations around the world to indulge in a spot of delicious afternoon tea. This quest led us to the beautiful Scandinavian city of Oslo in Norway for a weekend away at the sensational Grand Hotel. The Grand Hotel is impossible to miss standing elegantly and impressively in the heart of Oslo’s most opulent street, Karl Johan’s gate. From the moment this hotel opened its doors to guests in 1874 it has been synonymous with undeniable luxury and the highest quality around. In accordance with this, it is no surprise that when the Nobel Peace Prize is presented in Oslo, that the laureates, celebrities and heads of state all check into the Grand Hotel. It seemed clear to us when building our list of worldwide locations that the Grand Hotel needed to be included for its sensational Norwegian afternoon tea.<br /><br />Afternoon tea is served in the beautiful Palmen (Palm Court Restaurant), and on first impression you could easily imagine this room being from one of ‘The Great Gatsby’s’ glamorous scenes with its stunning glass dome allowing an airy atmosphere and natural sunlight to pour in. This beautiful setting is further enhanced by a rich colour scheme of purple, green and silver throughout ensuring that you felt instantly relaxed in the most exquisite surroundings. On entering Palmen we were warmly greeted by our waiter who led us to our grand booth. The booth was deep and inviting with delicate cushions for support, whilst our marble table was perfectly presented with white Wedgewood chinaware. From the onset our waiter was polite and attentive creating a ‘home from home feel’ by enquiring how our day was, and if we would like a glass of still or sparkling water to sip on whilst we pondered over the fabulous menu merrily absorbing our surroundings.<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><br /></span></i></div>

<i>Our afternoon tea began with the integral tea selection. The Grand Hotel offers a vast collection of both black and green teas but unfortunately these are not listed on the menu. Adding a more personal touch to your afternoon tea, the Grand Hotel has a tea expert on hand to help guide you through your selection process whilst providing you with information on the recommended brewing time, and origins of the tea available. Chelsie and I were advised that the following teas are very popular amongst guests: Sencha Green from Japan, Mao Feng Green from China, Peppermint and Lavender black currant. Deviating from the recommendations and feeling somewhat adventurous Chelsie selected ‘lady grey’ which had a light and flowery body whilst I selected Mao Feng Green from the list of recommendations that had a very intense, rich body. Our tea was served in a beautifully decorated pink and white teapot with a matching cup and saucer, which throughout the afternoon tea was regularly topped up with a freshly brewed complimentary pot of tea and if required lemon, milk or honey to accompany our choices.<br /><br />The Grand Hotel’s Norwegian afternoon tea arrived on a simple yet faultless white three tiered stand. Chelsie and I were bedazzled by the stunning display of sweet treats and savoury items on display, the sensational colours and enticing aromas ensured us that this would not only be a glamorous affair but also so very delicious. Our eyes widened further when our waiter returned again with a matching white plate of delicate, warm freshly baked chocolate and ligonberry scones accompanied by two little pots of orange and raspberry Bonne Maman jam. Our waiter talked us through the variety within the three tiers of the stand, explaining how each item within the afternoon tea is intimately linked to Scandinavian cuisine from the freshly caught fish to the popular ligonberries within the scones. We were also given suitable time to ask any additional questions we had concerning our afternoon tea. We believe it is worth us mentioning that the Grand Hotel covers all dietary concerns to ensure that each and every guest can enjoy their afternoon tea but they do require twenty four hours notice.</i></div>

<i>Both the savoury selection and sweet selection were comprised of two of the following: cucumber and apple sandwich on moulted granary bread, onion and feta cheese pie, blini with ‘romme’ and lumpfish roe, smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich on moulted granary bread, goats milk cheese and black trumpet mushrooms in a cone and finally ‘fenalar’ (lamb) and apple gel in a cone. The sweet selection contained the following: raspberry muffins, lemon meringue cupcakes, chocolate cookies, juniper financier, strawberry, orange and vanilla macaron and a cone with white chocolate and sea buckthorne berries. As to be expected from such a diverse selection Chelsie and I were taken on a taste whirlwind from the crunchy fresh apple with cucumber sandwich to the delicate and dreamy orange macaroon. Our favourite items within this afternoon tea were the beetroot with smoked mackerel, romme and hazelnut, white chocolate and sea buckthorne berries and novel chocolate cookies. However, our ultimate favourite within this afternoon tea was the chocolate and lingonberry scones. The oozing chocolate from the scones perfectly complements the contrasting sour lingonberry, resulting in you wanting just one more! We can assure you that when you are sipping on your tea, enjoying some of the finest food Oslo has to offer in the splendour of Palmen it is difficult to imagine a better way to indulge.</i></div>

<i><br />Chelsie and I were fortunate enough to be spending the weekend at the luxurious five star Kempinski Hotel Corvinus. The hotel’s location is sensational, with quick, carefree access to all of the cities must see highlights from the beautiful St Stephen’s Basilica and chain bridge, to shopper’s paradise understandably named ‘Fashion Street’ and the financial district. This hotel has a lovely ambiance, reminiscent of a ‘home from home’ feel with an air of sophistication. The decor is elegant and stylish which results in an ideal location to relax and unwind. Keeping into the consideration the above, we were not surprised to hear that Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and the late Michael Jackson, to name but a few also chose this hotel to stay when visiting Budapest.<br /><br />It was at the Kempinski Hotel Corvinus that Chelsie and I indulged in our first ever Hungarian afternoon tea. We were led to the ‘Living Room’ where afternoon tea is served by our lovely waitress Anna. The tables were already laid out, in anticipation of those arriving, with simple but faultless white mats and cutlery. This set up blends perfectly with the rooms surroundings. The ‘living room’ is exactly as the name implies, and thus is themed just like a luxurious living room. There are deep, comfortable chairs, an impressive wooden cabinet filled with familiar necessities such as books and ornaments with an enticing central real fire and Duval Leray Rose champagne resting on a bed of ice at the foot of every table. This is all accompanied by relaxed, upbeat music playing in the background which results in a lovely location to enjoy a spot of afternoon tea.</i></div>

As our afternoon tea commenced, Anna began by ensuring that our surroundings were to our highest satisfaction, inquiring if we had any dietary requirements (all dietary requirements can be catered for) before providing us with an overview of what the afternoon tea would entail and a vast menu for us to select our tea from. The tea selection was very impressive with teas from the following categories available Black, White, Herbal, Green, Fruit and Oolong. Our teas arrived on a mint tea with a silver kettle and a flowery cup exclusively designed for the Kempinski Hotel Corvinus by Zsolnay. I selected Superior Fancy Oolong which had a somewhat nutty-fruity body whilst Chelsie selected a black tea Golden Assam (with milk) which had a delightfully sweet note. Anna told us that throughout the afternoon tea we would be allowed an unlimited complimentary tea refill which, in accordance with the taste was fabulous news.<br /><br />Our afternoon tea arrived on an elegant white three tiered square stand. The bottom tier consisted of two of the following sandwiches on crust-less white bread: cucumber with Gouda cheese, smoked salmon trout with cream cheese and cured Mangalicia ham with chive butter. Anna explained to us that the ingredients used at the Kempinski Hotel Corvinus were of the finest quality and that the Mangalicia ham has an extensive history within the Hungarian food culture. We really appreciated Anna’s passion and insight, helping to ensure that we were fully incorporated into the Hungarian influence within this afternoon tea. We really enjoyed the sandwich selection; whilst we could not name our ultimate preference, we were silenced from our conversation by the freshness and intense flavor from each.</i><br />

<i><br />The middle tier deviated from the traditional English afternoon tea replacing scones and clotted cream with two apple and curd strudels accompanied with vanilla sauce and strudels with cottage cheese. We really enjoyed this difference, with our favorite item from this tier being the apple strudel. The taste of this apple strudel was divinely light but flavorsome with the vanilla sauce only enhancing the flavors further, whilst the cottage cheese strudel was a nice savory compliment. I must mention that as we moved on to each tier, Anna our waitress was extremely attentive asking if we had enjoyed our food, before providing us with a clean plate each, ready for our next tier. As we sat sipping on our teas, enjoying our lovely food and taking in the ambiance we were feeling both very content and relaxed.<br /><br />In accordance with our own personal preference we asked Anna if we could be served our champagne with our desserts on the top tier. Sipping on our champagne served in Champagne coupes, we decided to indulge further and asked Anna if we could order an additional small stand of macarons from the Kempinski Hotel Corvinus new concept store fittingly called ‘Macarooons’. Anna returned within a suitable time frame smiling widely, explaining that she had hand selected a delightful combination of macaroon’s that would complement our upcoming dessert tier. The flavors included milk chocolate, and as to be expected following from the previous two tiers the food standard was incredibly high and the ganache intensely flavorsome. The enticing top tier was comprised of two of the following Hungarian influenced desserts: fruit tartlets, Dobos Cake (chocolate cake with crispy caramel on the top), Esterhazy torte (covered with sugar glaze, and filled with cooked egg cream with nut) and finally Sacher cake (chocolate cake). Chelsie and I really enjoyed trying the Hungarian desserts, and once again found it impossible to name a favorite. The differences in textures and bursts of flavors made them all exceptional in their own right.</i></div>

<i>On a recent visit to Kempinski Corvinus in Budapest Hungary, we were fortunate to discover the hotels latest delicious sensation ‘Macarooon’. ‘Macarooon’ is a bright, fresh and sophisticated concept store located in the hotels front lobby selling an impressive collection of bedazzling macaroons ensuring that both guests and visitors alike are treated to an unrivalled taste experience. The 2014 collection consists of over twenty truly unique flavours with some limited addition must have’s depending on the season (Macaron day in March for example). We were really impressed with the vast array on offer and indulged in the following flavours that we have not previously seen on our travels including; birthday cake, bubblegum, cotton candy and cinnamon plum. In our experience the macaroons were bursting with flavours, the sensational ganache (the middle of the macaroon) made every bite blissful, and I am happy to admit we visited ‘Macarooon’ numerous times during our stay needless to say- we highly recommend a visit.</i></div>

Experience- The Mr Men and Little Miss Launch Party</i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>On Wednesday 12<sup>th</sup>
March we were fortunate enough to be invited to the beautiful Biscuiteers Boutique
in London for the launch of their new fun and playful ‘Mr. Men and Little Miss’
collection. For those of you who are not
familiar with this boutique it may very well remind you of your favourite
childhood candy store. The boutique is filled with their captivating creations
that included bespoke cakes, traditional sweets, hand iced cupcakes, hand iced
chocolates and their new and tasty macarons combined with a warm and friendly
atmosphere. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>The exclusive ‘Mr. Men and Little Miss’ collection took over 1 year
to produce ensuring that the Biscuiteers perfectly captured the different personalities
behind each of the beloved Mr Men and Little Miss personalities. We began by
sampling some of their colourful Mr Men and Little Miss cupcakes. The cupcakes
were beautifully presented, and vivid in colour; admittedly it was a difficult
choice to select which character we wanted to try first (Little Miss Sunshine
or Mr Messy? But Mr Tickle looked so cute!) So in the end we went with Mr
Greedy and Little Miss Chatterbox. The cupcakes were divine! We were simply smitten with the vanilla butter-cream
and delicate soft sponge within the cupcake and it left us eager to try more...perhaps
selecting Mr Greedy was appropriate for me?</i></div>

evening was when we were where invited to sit down and create our own Mr. Men
and Little Miss biscuits at their icing cafe (on premise in London). The tables
were beautifully presented with Mr .Men and Little Miss table cloth, a large
bowl of vivid coloured icing pipes, illustrations of the Mr. Men and Little
Misses we would be creating to ensure that we wouldn’t forget any details and
lots of biscuits to get practising on! We were given an introduction to icing
by one of the artists behind the Biscuiteers collections. The lady was delighted to share with us best
practise and helpful tips which undeniably helped us when creating our own. Whilst admittedly it was a little tough to
begin with, we soon got the hang of it and it was a great fun. The evening
ended with us taking our collections away in elegant Biscuiteers packaging and
wanting to indulge further in this magical collection. </i></div>

I have always dreamt of visiting Istanbul. There is something about the city that makes it so very alluring. Perhaps, it is the rich history that runs through its very foundations, it might be the infusion of Asian and European influence or it could be the treasures that can be found within its streets from tantalising Turkish delight to deep sensual scents from a candle burning. It is from these steams that Chelsie and I would like to introduce to you a brand that we have recently discovered and hold in high esteem: Lokum Istanbul.<br /><br />Lokum Istanbul specializes in the highest quality products that draw intimate inspiration from Turkish culture. Lokum Istanbul strives with flawless execution to bring back the delights, flavours, knowledge and beauty of the bygone Ottomoan-Turkish culture through gifts and treats that also incorporate the present day influence through their own uniquely blended interpretation.<br /><br />Chelsie and I were excited to discover that Lokum Istanbul has recently opened their first London based store, on Walton Street. This store was designed by Anouska Hempel and is modeled on their popular Istanbul store with moody lighting, sparkling chandeliers and wallpaper decorated in stunning Ottoman toile de Joury. Which ensures that guests in London are able to experience an authentic experience of Turkey from the moment they step through the doors. Lokum Instanbul's range includes handmade Turkish delight (that we simply could not resist trying!), fragrances, candles, books, cigarillo boxes and beautiful gift boxes to complete the look for that perfect find.<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">

Kate and Chelsie's Experience.<br /><br />The allurement and curiosity behind Lokum Istanbul's products understandably left us eager to to try some for ourselves. On this occasion we were lucky enough to try some of Lokum Istanbul's tantalizing handmade Turkish delight.<br /><br />To buy a product from Lokum Istanbul, is undeniably an experience within itself. Our Turkish delight was presented to us in a large, beautifully decorated round box with fezzes's dangling down it's sides. Chelsie and I were immediately impressed with the care and effort that had gone into ensuring the aesthetics of our product were embodying the spirit of Istanbul from the onset. Once we had removed the lid, we discovered our Turkish delight was elegantly wrapped in light tissue with good quality wooden sticks ready for our consumption. In our experience inside our box we were provided with a detailed overview around the history of Turkish delight, whilst helped to ensure we would also be soaking up some of the treats extensive history with each piece. An example of this history included that during the Ottoman era Turkish delight was considered an integral part of the palace cuisine.<br /><br />Our box of Turkish delights contained a generous selection of truly stunning treats. The Turkish delights tasted sensational, they were rich, flavorsome and left us quite literally fighting for the last one! From each bite it was evident to us, the level of care, carefully sourced components and passion behind each treat. We would highly recommend a box of Turkish delight from Lokum Istanbul for a variety of occasions ranging from birthday presents, housewarming presents, for loved ones and of course following our example for pure indulgence at its finest. We will certainly be returning back to Lokum Istanbul for another box, or two!</div>

Restaurant Le Dali serves Afternoon tea every day from 3.30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Discover its “Tea Time” in a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Le Dali has imagined a tea stand served at the table where you will savour delicious scones with their amazing clotted cream and jams. You will appreciate the delicate finger sandwichs and the imaginative creations of their Pastry Chef, and taste an incredible variety of flavours that will delight your sight and taste buds. Food lovers will appreciate the delicious and appealing cakes, pleasantly positioned on a buffet, near the astonishing Pastry display. To accompany those delicious treats, you will discover our wide selection of the best teas, coffees, and infusions, or a smooth Guanaja and Caribbean cocoa hot chocolate. Give in to temptation and experience the “Tea Time au Champagne” offer or succumb to the “Tea Time Fleur de Thé” formula that will give you the chance to observe, through a transparent teapot, a flower blooming while your tea infuses.</i><div>
