Few things are as springy as teatime, and Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North welcomes Tranquili-Tea just in time to kick off the new season. Launching March 1 and running through April 30, Tranquili-Tea will be offered daily at Onyx Bar & Lounge.
There will be one seating of Tranquili-Tea each day, from 2 to 4 p.m. The delightful menu begins with a selection of tea sandwiches: smoked salmon, with herb Boursin spread, cucumber, dill and brown bread; Arizona heirloom tomatoes, with homemade whipped ricotta, grilled peaches, dehydrated strawberry and pomegranate gastrique; prosciutto fig, with jamon Serrano, black mission fig and pear; Southwest egg salad and Bibb lettuce on a mini brioche bun; and cucumber sandwich with whipped butter and fennel pollen. Complementing the sandwiches is a selection of scones–a high tea staple–paired with buttermilk and apricot, served with lemon curd, clotted cream and housemade orange marmalade.
The highlight of Tranquili-Tea is its selection of sweets from Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North’s Pastry Chef Yudith Bustos. The Beehive combines coconut mousse and honey cake, served with passionfruit caviar. The Onyx brings together chocolate mousse, salted caramel and hazelnut crunch. The Cactus offers a taste of the Southwest, with prickly pear and cheesecake mousse. The Sunset features citrus cream, seasonal fruit and meringue.
For sipping, the menu is paired with a combination of RISHI teas, including Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Chamomile, Jade Cloud, Artemisia Ginger, Chilean Cranberry Citrus and more.
“Teatime is the perfect excuse for an afternoon reset or celebration,” says Director of Food & Beverage Rita Vale, in a press release. “Indulge in the art of refined relaxation, and soak in the abundant Scottsdale spring sunshine from the floor-to-ceiling windows at Onyx, while enjoying a custom tea menu and specialty sips.”
Reservations are required. Tranquili-Tea is $80, not inclusive of tax and gratuity, for two adults, or $125 when accompanied by bottomless sparkling sips, including mimosas, Bellinis, Aperol spritzes and sparkling wine. To book, visit www.opentable.com/talavera.
