Richmond Hill Hotel Afternoon tea

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the most enchanting afternoon tea at the Richmond Hill Hotel. This charming Georgian hotel is not only eco-friendly but also located in one of the UK’s most stunning natural environments. With their continuous improvement in environmental performance and their “Green Commandments,” the hotel is leading the way in protecting the environment for future generations.

The Restaurant, “144 on the hill,” is inspired by the leafy surroundings, and their selection of teas from Whittard of Chelsea is simply wonderful. The pastries were freshly baked and delicious, and the selection of sandwiches was diverse and flavourful. I would highly recommend this afternoon tea experience to anyone looking for a delightful and relaxing time at the Richmond Hill Hotel. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to indulge in their delectable treats and enjoy the serene surroundings of this lovely hotel. Book your Richmond Hill Hotel afternoon tea experience today!

As selections of their teas we had –

• Richmond Gardens •White Tea

This rosebud-scattered loose-leaf white tea is Richmond’s lush flora in a cup. With loose leaf White Peony tea as a base, Richmond Gardens is a light and elegant brew. While the sweet suggestion of rose and flavors of ripe summer fruits add a delightfully characteristic twist.

• Mango & Bergamot • Green Tea Blend

Delicately blended with exotic flavors of mango, lulo and bergamot, this blend is a sweetly sophisticated loose-leaf green tea. High-quality green tea leaves form the base of the blend, picked in early spring for their verdant color and herby taste. Scattered with rose, sunflower and blue cornflower petals, this blend is as beautiful as it is delicious – perfect for adding a twist of Richmond exoticism to an afternoon spread.

Hotel Lounge

This perfect afternoon tea experience in West London, Richmond Hill Hotel is the place to be. I must say, it was just magical, and by far the best afternoon tea I have had in London. From the scrumptious food to the wonderful selection of teas, everything was perfect and delicious.

The attentive and friendly service made the experience even more enjoyable. The staff at Richmond Hill Hotel really knows how to make their guests feel special.

One of my favourite things about the experience was the serene and tranquil atmosphere in the hotel’s lounge. It was the perfect place to work or relax for a few hours. All in all, I highly recommend the Richmond Hill Hotel afternoon tea experience, it’s truly unforgettable.
