Paired with an array of delectable finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones served with clotted cream and jam, and an assortment of exquisite pastries, the afternoon tea provides a perfect balance of flavours and textures.
Under the artistry of Chef Florian Couteau, a master of pastry, 1872 introduces an enchanting seasonal offering for summer: the Summer Afternoon Tea, which celebrates the vibrant natural sweetness of fresh fruits and vegetables at their peak.
The experience begins with a refreshing palate opener—Tomato and Red Pepper Sorbet—harmoniously paired with sweet cherry tomatoes, invigorating tomato water, and crunchy croutons that awaken the taste buds.
As guests transition into the savouries, they are presented with a lineup of culinary treasures. The Trout Tartlet features a luscious smoked trout rillette, artfully complemented by dill-infused sour cream and topped with delicate ikura. The Duck Confit Waffle brings a delightful surprise with its rich pistachio and orange compote.

Meanwhile, the Shine Muscat Tartlet delights with its complex layers of thyme-infused goat cheese and a dash of sherry vinegar.
The meal is further elevated by the signature offering, Melon Parfait—a sophisticated palate cleanser that refreshes the senses. This harmonious blend includes variations of ripe melon, a sparkling prosecco jelly, creamy fromage blanc, and a refreshing melon sorbet that dances on the tongue.
As the experience culminates with the sweet course, guests are treated to an array of mesmerising desserts. The Aman 70% Signature Chocolate Tartlet, rich and complex, is a marriage of buckwheat and miso caramel that provides a sophisticated finish. The Exotic Baba captivates with its vibrant combination of pineapple compote, citrus notes, and a cloud of passion fruit whipped cream. The Pistachio and Berries Layer Cake presents an inviting medley of moist pistachio joconde, luscious berry marmalade, and a rich cremeux. Lastly, the Apricot and Whisky offers a decadent fusion of apricot and orange compote, indulgent Nikka whisky ganache, and a sprinkle of pine nuts for added crunch.
To graciously conclude this splendid experience, guests are treated to a selection of scone course, featuring both classic plain and delightful blueberry scone varieties, accompanied by homemade banana and passion fruit jam, zesty lemon curd, and creamy clotted cream—truly a perfect ending to an afternoon of refined indulgence.
