Kyoto Hojicha Bliss Afternoon Tea
Discover GREEN's Kyoto Hojicha Bliss 3‑Course Afternoon Tea, inspired by the depth and restraint of Japanese tea craftsmanship.

The Hojicha used in this menu is imported from a traditional Kyoto tea house with over 180 years of expertise. Roasting at a higher temperature allows the tea to develop a natural profile with low bitterness and toasted, mellow and earthy notes, characteristic of Kyoto, Japan's most recognised region for premium Hojicha.

Signature Oyster Harbour View at 4 PM
Ease into the evening with a refined pre‑dinner ritual at Timeless Lounge, featuring our Signature Oyster Harbour View. Savour plump Beach Glass Oysters from Hood Canal, prized for their briny freshness and creamy finish, paired with our sommelier‑recommended Domaine Laporte Sancerre Le Rochoy.

Influenced by a flint‑rich terroir, this Sancerre delivers precise minerality and subtle earthiness, which enhance the oyster's natural oceanic sweetness. Together, they create an expanded, lingering flavour experience, where saline brightness and silky texture unfold gracefully on the palate.

At HK$38 per plump oyster, this must‑try starter is available from 4 PM and perfectly sets the tone before dinner at Above & Beyond or our other signature restaurants. Enjoy the moment, framed by a 270‑degree view of the Victoria Harbour skyline, where golden hour transitions effortlessly into a sophisticated night.
