Kolkata, May 2025: In celebration of International Tea Day on 21st May, Tess at Hyatt Centric Ballygunge invites guests to a week-long Afternoon Tea Experience, available from 18th to 25th May, from 3 PM onwards.Thoughtfully designed to capture the joy of slow afternoons and elevated snacking, this special curation offers a refreshing twist on traditional high tea—with vibrant, contemporary flavours and handcrafted treats.
The Afternoon Tea includes two elegantly crafted tasting platters for guests to choose from, each offering a delicious blend of savoury and sweet indulgences. The vegetarian menu includes delicately seasoned tofu bao buns and creamy avocado on sourdough open toasties, while the non-vegetarian version features Sichuan chicken bao buns paired with the same creamy avocado toast. Both platters are completed with a trio of indulgent desserts: a rich Belgian chocolate pastry, a moist banana tea cake, and a silky Biscoff cheesecake. Each platter is complemented by a selection of handpicked teas, from floral infusions to robust, aromatic blends—carefully chosen to enhance every bite.
Speaking on the same, Glen Dsouza, General Manager, Hyatt Centric Ballygunge Kolkata shares, “At Tess, we believe in creating experiences that bring people together over good food and meaningful moments. Our Afternoon Tea, curated specially for International Tea Day, is a celebration of that spirit—crafted with care, flavor, and a touch of indulgence. We look forward to welcoming our guests to slow down, sip, and savor the charm of unhurried afternoons.”
