Metropolitan London Hotel Introduces Organic Tea Service
Author: admin
Anglophiles and tea afficionados will be particularly pleased at the metropolitan London's update to their traditional tea service. The Hyde Park corner Hotel has formulated a healthier version of their traditional afternoon tea.
The new menu is called "Afternoon De-Light" (the emphasis is on the word "light") and it includes the standard choices of teas, scones and fingerfoods, but the emphasis is in fresh ingredients and low calories. The foods are made in "lite" versions where low fat creme fraiche is used. The sandwiches don't have breads and fresh fruit puree is used instead of sugar. They also use flour substitutes and olive oil instead of butter.
They have also introduced a new drink: the Eco Tini, which is centered around the idea of organic, local consumption. The drink is made from ingredients sourced from the Greater London vicinity. It is available only during teatime and the surprise ingredient is gooseberries.
