SHENZHEN Marriott Hotel Nanshan has introduced a 5J ham-themed afternoon tea in collaboration with Cinco Jotas, a renowned Iberian ham brand from Spain. Guests are invited to explore this exclusive experience at the hotel’s Lounge until June 30, immersing themselves in the art of nature and purity through sensory exploration while savoring the craftsmanship of 5J ham.

Inspired by nature, this afternoon tea set incorporates the 140-year-old 5J ham into delicate tea pastries, each crafted as a reflection of the beauty of time. The hotel’s culinary team showcases traditional cutting techniques during the Cinco Jotas 5J ham tasting.

Highlights include the 5J Ham and Black Truffle Mushroom Crispy Tube, which balances the savory saltiness of 5J ham with the rich aroma of black truffle in a crisp tube. The Chocolate Mont Blanc with Crispy 5J Ham features smooth chestnut cream enclosed in a chocolate shell, topped with roasted 5J ham for a delightful play of soft and crispy textures. The Black Truffle 5J Ham Scone blends classic British scones with the distinctive flavor of Spanish 5J ham, elevated by black truffle for a lasting taste of excellence.

To complement the 5J ham tasting, a specially crafted champagne sparkling tea is an excellent choice. The refreshing Longjing tea balances the ham’s flavors, while champagne bubbles awaken the taste buds, enhanced by the sweetness of melon, creating an elevated version of the classic Spanish “ham and melon” pairing.

With the breathtaking view of Shenzhen Bay and a wide selection of premium teas, Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Nanshan offers the perfect setting for a leisurely afternoon, basking in the gentle golden glow of the sunset.(Li Jing)
