[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Fairmont Ambassador Seoul announced on the 8th that it will offer a 'Honey Afternoon Tea Set' at The Atrium Lounge located on the first floor of the hotel until the 31st of next month.

The set includes desserts, beverages, and savories made with domestically produced honey harvested through sustainable methods. The price is 55,000 KRW per person and is available for a minimum of two people.

This afternoon tea set marks the first initiative of Fairmont's environmental conservation campaign, 'Bee Sustainable,' which aims to raise awareness about the importance of bees for ecosystem preservation.

At the top tier of the dessert tray, a honey chocolate flowerpot is presented. A flowerpot-shaped cookie is filled with hazelnut chocolate cream, sprinkled with bee pollen, and topped with a handmade honeybee to create a charming dessert. The honey coconut macaron is filled with chocolate ganache made with coconut milk and contains honeycomb honey in the center, allowing guests to enjoy a sweet honey flavor with each bite. There is also a honey ginger lemon cake, completed by placing a small amount of ginger on a honeycomb-shaped chocolate atop the lemon cake. Additionally, an apple mango pavlova shaped like a honeycomb and a tiramisu ?clair topped with sugar craft butterflies and edible flowers are offered.

For savories, prosciutto served with onion jam and mozzarella cheese, brioche topped with domestic caviar and smoked salmon, chicken coronation with a distinctive curry aroma, and mushroom quiche are available. Two types of homemade scones and Fairmont ice cream are also provided.

When ordering the afternoon tea set, guests can choose one type of coffee or tea. Until the end of July, three seasonal specialty drinks made with organic honey will be offered: Fairmont Honey Milk Tea, Honey Bitter Black Tea, and Honey Spanner.

Karl Gagnon, General Manager of Fairmont Ambassador Seoul, said, "Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has led sustainable business practices for the past decade, even starting its own beekeeping as the first luxury hotel brand. Fairmont Ambassador Seoul aims to provide an opportunity to enjoy various desserts made with sustainably produced honey domestically while raising awareness about the importance of bees for ecosystem preservation."

Fairmont Ambassador Seoul plans to start urban beekeeping in downtown Seoul in collaboration with the urban beekeeping group 'Urban Bees Seoul' within the third quarter of this year.
