Take in a spot of tea at The Peninsula

Known as one of L.A.’s most beloved hotel traditions, The Peninsula Beverly Hills took its traditional Afternoon Tea to new heights last year with the launch of Tea Party. Starting May 18, Tea Party re-launches in collaboration with Ginza Nishikawa, Japan’s Artisanal Shokupan producer, to introduce their world-renowned milk bread alongside the relaunch of the hotel’s weekly Tea Party service on The Belvedere Terrace. Made with premium ingredients such as fresh cream, butter, honey and curated yeast strains, Shokupan’s freshly baked loaves offer a golden-crusted, silky texture with a hint of sweetness, infusing this Japanese luxury into The Peninsula Beverly Hills’ elegant and festive atmosphere through its menu of curated tea sandwiches. The al fresco Tea Party experience is set on The Belvedere Terrace, complete with hand-crafted iced teas served in eclectic glassware and china, Japanese-inspired cocktails and afternoon DJ sets. From art, music, fashion and culinary collaborations, Tea Party promises to be as stylishly memorable as its guests. Offered Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Tea Party will be running from May 18-July 21 for $125/person.
