We are happy to report that the glamour and success of tea at Hong Kong’s The Peninsula has been successfully exported to the fine lobby lounge of its group’s Shanghai property. The magic of a three-tier tea here is built on tastes and refinements, with commendable effort placed on extending a service so grand, it is intimate. 

Cachet Lobby Lounge, The Langham Shanghai Xintiandi 

An originally English enterprise dishes out a quintessentially English affair. Tea at The Langham Shanghai is enhanced by elegant Wedgwood ware, yet another English element in the whole flavoursome ensemble.
