Thai-Inspired 'Tropical Honey Afternoon Tea' unique to Centara
Centara Grand Hotel Osaka (Location: 2-11-50 Nambanaka, Naniwa-ku, Osaka; General Manager: Andy Ng), the first hotel in Japan by the leading Thai hospitality group Centara Hotels & Resorts, will offer the early summer exclusive 'Tropical Honey Afternoon Tea' from May 1 (Fri) to June 30 (Tue), 2026. This tea service creates a tropical relaxation atmosphere by layering the gentle sweetness of Osaka-produced honey with the scents of lemongrass and herbs, delivering a wellness experience that heals both the palate and the soul.
The 'Tropical Honey Afternoon Tea' incorporates ingredients reminiscent of Southeast Asia, such as lemongrass, chamomile, and aloe, to create a resort-like feeling of relaxation in the heart of the city. We propose a moment of healing for all five senses, including the fragrance and ambiance.
Gentle Deliciousness Created by Osaka Honey and Herbs
Featuring 'Hyakka Honey' harvested from apiaries in Osaka as the main star, this afternoon tea combines it with Southeast Asian materials like lemongrass, chamomile, and aloe, resulting in a naturally gentle sweetness and a light yet deep flavor. The gluconic acid, vitamins, and minerals contained in honey are said to support intestinal health, skin beauty, and fatigue recovery, allowing guests to enjoy it as a wellness experience that nurtures from the inside out.
Executive Pastry Chef Shinji Ito, who has gained experience at numerous luxury hotels, has carefully selected materials for these sweets, fusing French delicacy with Asian essence. Through the gentle sweetness of honey, herb fragrances, and a light mouthfeel perfect for early summer, he delivers a moment of 'healing' for the heart and body amidst busy daily life.
Special Experiences: Color-Changing Welcome Drinks and Tasting Comb Honey
For the welcome drink, we offer a mocktail using Butterfly Pea tea, popular in Thailand. By adding lemon and honey, the color changes, creating a drink that can be enjoyed visually as well.
Furthermore, we have prepared an experience to taste comb honey as it is. Guests can savor the rich flavor of natural honey with all five senses. We also offer a wide selection of 'teas that pair well with honey,' proposing new ways to enjoy honey tea. The exotic accents of lemongrass and herbs layered with the gentle sweetness of Osaka honey further enhance the charm of this afternoon tea, which can truly be tasted through its aroma.
