Afternoon Tea on The Palm Jumeirah, Dubai

Today I went for a spot of afternoon tea at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray Hotel on The Palm.
It was delicious!
One afternoon tea stands includes 4 gourmet sandwiches, 4 sweet treats, 2 scones and 2 cakes.
English Afternoon tea is priced at 105 AED and Ottoman Afternon tea is priced at 125 AED. We ordered two English Afternoon teas from The Sultan's Lounge!
Moroccan mint tea
Chocolate Leaf tea
 I ordered the chocolate leaf tea to accompany my food. Being a tea fanatic I was surprised that I had never heard of chocolate tea before. It tasted like a light hot chocolate which I will definitely try again!
Yum!

First we tried the plain and raisin scones that were served with Devonshire clotted cream and strawberry preserve. It was so fresh and the scones just melted in your mouth. The Scottish nut cake and English fruit cake were also very light and yummy! By the time we had finished the top plate we were already full! But we carried on!
Next came the sandwiches: smoked salmon brioche; roast beef and mustard baguette; quail eggs and sundried tomatoes on white bread; grilled vegetables on focaccia. My favourite was the roast beef because the mini baguette was seeded and had loads of flavour! I did not really like the quail eggs, just because it was too creamy for me. I actually managed to finish all four mini sandwiches and moved onto the desserts...
The four sweet treats consisted of latte cotte with blueberry compote; strawberry tartlette; whipped milk chocolate cream brownie; summer pudding. The latte cotte was like a mint mousse which refreshed the palette after the sandwiches. The brownie was my favourite and really chocolaty, it went well with my tea! I could not manage to even taste the summer pudding because at that point I was ready to pop!

I would recommend you try this afternoon tea as it is really good value for high standard food! The hotel was lovely too and they had a harpist playing background music.
Loved her dress!
The hotel is located on the West Crescent of The Palm and on the drive home I managed to capture some really nice photos of the sunset...



Beautiful!
