DoubleTree by Hilton Kyoto Station (Address: Higashikujo, Minami-ku, Kyoto City; General Manager: Yumi Wakita) will host a one-day-only afternoon tea event in collaboration with Dilmah, the world-renowned tea brand from Sri Lanka, on Saturday, June 13, 2026. This highly anticipated afternoon tea, marking its fifth iteration, will feature a magnificent afternoon tea suitable for summer, themed around the freshness of tropical fruits and the perfect pairing with Dilmah's high-quality teas.
On the day, the event will consist of two parts: a tea seminar where guests can delve deeper into the charm of Dilmah teas, followed by a leisurely afternoon tea time.
At the tea seminar, guests can learn about the origin and characteristics of tea, as well as how to enjoy it with fruits, experiencing the profound world of Dilmah tea.
The sweets generously use tropical fruits. The lineup includes "Sunshine Tiramisu," layering the richness of mango and coconut; "Island Chocolat," combining pineapple and coconut; and "Summer Tea Scone Lemon Breeze," offering a refreshing citrus aroma. These emphasize the light sweetness and lingering fragrance of fruits.
Other colorful sweets adorning the table include a jelly encapsulating the bittersweetness of mandarin orange and Campari, a two-layered mousse of yogurt and mango, apricot tart, and peach melba.
For savories, a menu that balances sweetness, saltiness, and sourness is prepared, incorporating tropical fruits, herbs, and spices. The selection is designed to complement tea, featuring smash burgers with pineapple and chimichurri sauce, roast pork crostini with mango salsa, and corn soup with the gentle sweetness of coconut milk.
Savories combining a summery lightness with satisfaction include fish fry scented with lemongrass and nam pla, chicken satay with a hint of lime, and caprese pairing mozzarella with papaya.
For beverages, a wide selection of Dilmah teas is available, from single estate teas to flavored teas and herbal teas. The tea selection, carefully considered to pair perfectly with tropical fruits, further enhances the afternoon tea experience.
All participants will receive a Dilmah Original Double-Wall Glass as a gift.
Additionally, those who complete a post-event survey will receive a trial tea bag of one variety from Dilmah's "t-series" (Original Earl Grey or Mango & Strawberry), perfect for iced tea in summer. Guests can enjoy the taste and lingering aroma of Dilmah tea at home.
