This summer, Leaves and Vines unveils a new chapter of seasonal afternoon tea artistry.
Inspired by the abundance of tropical islands — golden sunlight, the vibrant hues and intoxicating aromas of fruit at its seasonal peak — the pastry team has taken mango, pomelo, pineapple, and citrus as their muse, transforming the harvest through refined pastry craftsmanship and elegant savory compositions into jewel-like afternoon creations.
Mango Citrus Delight
Mango Pomelo Sago｜Fruits｜Lemon Ice Cream (contains alcohol)
More than a refined interpretation of the beloved classic, this creation is a heartfelt reimagining of tropical flavor in its fullest expression.
A richly reduced mango base — lush, sun-warmed, and deeply fragrant — is softened by the delicate bitterness of fresh pomelo and rounded with the silken embrace of coconut milk. A quenelle of lemon ice cream arrives as the final flourish, its bright acidity lifting the sweetness and lingering with a cool, spirited finish. Crowned with generous mango cubes and the season’s finest fruits, each spoonful offers a new note in this tropical composition — clean, delicate, and alive with the warmth of summer at its peak.
