Tibetan-style Afternoon Tea, the Only One in the Capital

Stepping into the Tibet Hotel feels like the mysterious and beautiful snow-capped plateau has been packed up and brought here. Everywhere you look, there are meticulously crafted Tibetan decorations. Colorful mythological stories narrate ancient beliefs, Tibetan-patterned curtains flutter gently in the wind, and the rustic yet exquisite Tibetan furniture exudes a "photograph me now" charm. In one corner of the hotel lies the Tibetan-style afternoon tea, complete with 🉑 costume changes. Dressed in gorgeous Tibetan robes, the atmosphere instantly elevates, making every corner feel like a heavenly path. 🌼 **Yak Milk Snow Lotus** Exquisitely crafted, it resembles the pure and sacred snow lotus (though the real flower 🈶 looks a bit like cabbage). The rich and smooth yak yogurt melts on the tongue, refreshing and light, as if you’ve consumed the purity and beauty of the entire plateau. 🍞 **Pembe** A specialty snack from Shigatse, Tibet. Golden in color, it emits a sweet aroma of peas, with a tender, smooth, and bouncy texture like jelly. Topped with curry and chili sauce, the flavors and layers dance in your mouth like a Tibetan folk dance. 🍰 **Chocolate Raspberry Mousse** The red velvet exterior is elegant and luxurious, crowned with a strawberry larger than the cake itself, like a ruby. The rich chocolate blends perfectly with the sweet-tart freshness of raspberries, creating a dense yet delicate texture. 🌮 **Buddha’s Hand Pastry** A long-time favorite among Tibetan desserts. The outer layer, made from barley flour, is chewy and resilient, while the filling is sweet and soft red bean paste, bursting with authentic Tibetan flavor. For drinks, there’s sweet tea and savory butter tea. The sweet tea resembles Assam tea but richer, with a smooth blend of tea and milk aromas. The butter tea is packed with the robust essence of the plateau—salty, rich, and hearty. The first sip might leave you 🈶 a bit confused, the second sip 🈶 a bit addictive, and by the third sip, you’ll feel like running freely with the wind. A must-try classic for any Tibetan-style afternoon tea. The second floor also features a cultural corridor, showcasing ancient Tibetan stories, instantly transforming you from a foodie into a connoisseur of culture. With gourmet food, stunning ambiance, and rich culture all in one place, the longing for this mystical snow-capped plateau reaches max levels. Ready to unlock a truly unique afternoon tea experience?
