Wutong Tea Retreat Afternoon Tea for Two

Enjoy a leisurely afternoon with two or three close friends in a Shanghai villa beneath dappled plane-tree shade and autumn light, with fragrant tea and a spread blending Shanghai creativity with Chinese and Western elegance: freshly steamed bamboo fungus xiaolongbao with mushroom-scented, piping-hot savoury broth, clear amber French beef consommé, crisp magnolia pastries with velvety custard, traditional mung bean cakes, fruity crown-topped dragon fruit dumplings, soft lotus-root-shaped pastries with delicately sweet lotus seed filling, and distinctive white truffle and Chinese yam tea sweets.
