MACAU, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This summer, The St. Regis Bar Macao partners with British premium sparkling tea brand Saicho to present a limited-time afternoon tea experience. Centered around the artistry of tea, the collaboration blends the timeless tradition of British afternoon tea with the rich heritage of Asian tea culture through refined culinary creations, signature sparkling teas, and inventive cocktails, inviting guests on an afternoon journey of flavor and sensory discovery.
Mr. Stuart-Wayne Douglas, General Manager of The St. Regis Macao, said: “At St. Regis, we believe every dining experience should tell a story. We are delighted to collaborate with Saicho to bring together tea, craftsmanship, and flavor in a way that offers guests a fresh perspective on afternoon tea, showcasing a new expression of modern luxury dining.”
Founded with a vision to redefine the tea-drinking experience, Saicho sources exceptional single-origin teas from renowned tea-growing regions across Asia and combines British craftsmanship with a meticulous 24-hour cold-brewing process to create sparkling teas of remarkable complexity and elegance.
The St. Regis Bar Macao × Saicho Afternoon Tea Set draws inspiration from the harmonious meeting of British and Asian cultures. To showcase the remarkable versatility of sparkling tea in gastronomy, the culinary team at The St. Regis Bar has crafted a menu inspired by Saicho’s three signature tea expressions: Hojicha, Darjeeling and Jasmine.
The savory selection features highlight such as Yellowfin Tuna Tartare with Potato Pavé, Smoked Salmon Mousse, the classic Cucumber Sandwich, and a Hong Kong-inspired Prawn Toast, each thoughtfully designed to complement the characteristics of the teas. On the sweet side, tea-infused creations including Jasmine Bavaroise with Peach Jasmine Jelly and Darjeeling Cheesecake further celebrate the nuanced flavors of Saicho’s collection. Every element of the menu has been carefully conceived to create a harmonious and balanced pairing experience.
Meanwhile, the roasted and nutty profile of Saicho Hojicha enhances the earthy flavors of mushrooms and adds depth to chocolate-based desserts. The fruity and refined character of Saicho Darjeeling pairs beautifully with smoked salmon and creamy textures, while the delicate floral notes of Saicho Jasmine elevate the natural sweetness of seafood dishes. From savory delights to sweet finales, each course reflects the chef’s creative interpretation of the art of tea pairing.
To further elevate the experience, guests may enjoy Saicho’s sparkling tea collection alongside three bespoke cocktails inspired by the brand’s signature teas. These include Twilight Ember, featuring Hojicha Sparkling Tea and mezcal; Darjeeling Dawn, crafted with Darjeeling Sparkling Tea and rye whiskey; and Jasmine Bloom, combining Jasmine Sparkling Tea and gin. These distinctive creations showcase the versatility of sparkling tea while bringing a contemporary twist to the traditional afternoon tea ritual.
