Tea artisans select China’s finest teas to pair with each dish
The art of tea has been intrinsically linked to Chinese gastronomy for thousands of years, and Si- chuan is the birthplace of the tea tree and the world’s tea culture. Golden Flower was first in Macau to provide personalized tea pairing services, and today, the restaurant’s experienced team of tea
artisans has thoughtfully selected more than 50 types of tea from all over China, together with vari- eties from Sichuan’s remote mountains to pair with its regional dishes and delicacies.
The artisans also developed one-of-a-kind teas to complement Golden Flower’s ambience and the four seasons. Drawing inspiration from the restaurant’s flower garden themed design, they have blended the “Golden Flower Signature Tea,” exuding fresh, floral aromas. In harmony with the sea- son’s climate, guests may also select from top-quality teas that are most beneficial for their health.
Upon entry into the dining area of Golden Flower, guests step immediately into an elegant and refined setting, themed around a flower garden. The restaurant’s interior mirrors the exquisite Chi- nese cuisine on offer, as well as harmony between man and nature. A reflection of China’s historic influence on the world, it also features a tea lounge and reception room inspired by the home of British tycoon, Frederick Leyland. Known as the “Peacock Room,” it is now on permanent display at Washington D.C.’s Freer Gallery of Art. For a more exclusive dining experience, the restaurant also features two private VIP rooms, each for a group of 10 who wishes to indulge in an extraordinary gastronomic journey together.
