Hi guys. Welcome back to ”On the go with EF”. I’m still discovering the beautiful city of Dublin.
Today, I feel like doing something a bit more relaxing.
So, I’ve decided to go for afternoon tea.
It’s a very famous and special afternoon tea.
I’m in the heart of Georgian Dublin. Look at all of these charming brick buildings.
The reason why this area is called Georgian
is because it was built during the reign of four kings named George.
On the opposite side of the street is the famous Merrion Hotel.
This is the most luxurious hotel in all of Dublin.
It’s famous for its exquisite art collection,
which has also inspired their famous afternoon tea,
which I cannot wait to see and taste.
Oh my god, guys. Look at this. They have Lapsang Souchong.
It’s the famous tea that smells of skis and socks, but it tastes really good.
Oh my god. They have such a wonderful selection.
Each one of the dessert names actually sounds like the name of a painting – like a piece of art.
Everything is so detailed and charming. Look how they’ve done the napkin.
Thank you
It smells very delicate. I’m drinking with my pinky up.
Afternoon tea here comes in two servings. This is the first one.
They were explaining to us that you have to start at the bottom of the pyramid
and work your way up through the tiers. You drink black tea with this.
And with the second serving they’re coming with, where the desserts will be more like pieces of art,
you drink green tea so you can taste the flavours of the desserts better.
This is chicken with truffle sauce. Oh, this is so nice!
Scones are my absolute favourite thing. I remember the first time I tried one,
I had a whole new discovery of the dessert world.
This cream is the absolute best.
It says “Roses and Temple, Patrick Hennessey.” I get it. Now I understand.
There is a different famous painting on each card and they’ve made a dessert inspired by each one.
So, Roses and Temple by Patrick Hennessey
is the name of the painting, and the dessert is inspired by that.
Rosewater and orange mousse on a white chocolate feuilletine.
This was delicious. I think I’m pretty full now.
I ate you! Roses and Temple by Patrick Hennessey.
Guess the name of the painting: Bowl and eggs. Okay. I shouldn’t have any more sugar.
Hello. Nice hat!
This was the best afternoon tea I have ever had. And the art is what made it even more special.
I’m very glad about the day I’m having in Dublin. This was perfect and relaxing.
You guys must do it if you ever come here.
Guys, I’ve got a question for you. What do you prefer: coffee or tea? And why?
Comment below and the best answer is going to get this awesome cake slicer,
this really cool notepad in the shape of biscuits, and these three great inspiration-dessert cards`
that I brought from my afternoon tea.
Thank you so much for watching and make sure to come back next week.
See you!
