Caviar Afternoon Tea

An afternoon tea can take on a more savoury, refined character when it centres on a few exceptional ingredients. Warm brioche, good butter and fine caviar create a simple tasting ritual, one that is equally fitting for an intimate gathering, a celebratory aperitif or a quiet moment of indulgence.

This caviar afternoon tea pairs lightly toasted brioche with salted butter and Kaviari Kristal® Caviar, served alongside fragrant oolong tea. The brioche’s soft richness and the butter’s gentle salinity provide a delicate base for the caviar’s clean, complex character and lingering almond notes.
