Sipping afternoon tea from exquisite tableware feels like being in a midsummer Windsor garden

It's said that the British a century ago firmly believed that savoring afternoon tea could make everything beautiful. Now sitting in this urban oasis of Hangzhou, I feel as if I've taken a seat in the Windsor gardens on the outskirts of London🍃 Using beautiful porcelain to play tea leaf divination with friends🔮 The air carries soft conversations and the gentle clinking of cutlery, while floral tea aromas swirl in my cup... The Hangzhou Wulin State Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, has collaborated with Aynsley, the 250-year-old British royal porcelain brand, to create a "Windsor Garden" where you can sit and linger. From teacups to flavors, every detail captures the glow and poetry of early summer. At 2 PM, sunlight pours through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the lobby lounge, spilling onto porcelain plates like rays dancing across English countryside meadows. The afternoon tea set features Aynsley's Windsor collection bone china🫖 Roses, butterflies, quaint cottages, and meadows—these poetic English elements are preserved in the lustrous porcelain. More than just vessels, they mark the beginning of an elegant lifestyle narrative. Lychee rose, peach-infused Earl Grey, cream puffs with loquat jam... each bite feels like a gentle afternoon breeze in the garden, fresh and tender. The conversation between langoustine and Wagyu beef with green pepper is a fusion of Eastern and Western flavors, sparking inspiration on a summer afternoon.
