bewleys chinese whispers

For those looking to treat themselves, or others, to a luxurious Lunar New Year experience, then you need look no further than Bewley’s on Grafton Street.

Asia Market has collaborated with the historic Dublin café - and Ireland’s first tea importer - to create a unique ‘Chinese Whispers’ Afternoon Tea experience on Saturday February 1st and Saturday February 8th that will transport your senses and take you on a journey of discovery.

Upstairs, away from the hustle and bustle, the James Joyce Room, steeped in heritage and filled with delicate artwork including the original 19th century Japanese-themed wallpaper, will provide the perfect ambience for an afternoon of relaxation and indulgence.

Against a backdrop of traditional Chinese music and cherry blossoms, you’ll be presented with a tower of scrumptious sandwiches, freshly baked Roasted Apple & Chinese Five Spice flavoured Scones, and Asian-inspired patisserie works of art from Bewley's bakery.

In keeping with Bewley’s time-honoured traditions of tea brewing, these delicious delights will be accompanied by master-blended teas sourced from China, or a coffee of your choice if you so prefer.
