The Edgbaston Afternoon Tea

January 2019

Amuse Bouche

Our afternoon tea starts with an amuse-bouche. It is brought on a platter of dry ice; which is pleasing to the eye and nose... lavender scented for an all around sensory experiencryption. The amuse bouche in a glass: hot chocolate sauce in the bottom, a crumble/ shortbread, the the top was a vanilla ice cream (as I remember).

Its an incredibly sweet entrée which was a wonderful surprise, which is an absolute delight. The hot, cold and crumble is oral ecstacy.
