China House & Tea | Sofitel Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, UAE
Recreating the atmosphere of a traditional Chinese teahouse, this rich and artful tradition of “tea throwing” dates back to the period of Three Kingdoms (220 – 265 AD). With its exquisitely detailed structure and oriental period furniture and “zi sha hu”, specialty clay tea vessels, the guest can’t help but feel immersed in the cultural history.
While the subtle hues of red, gold and black, make one reminiscent of old China; it is offset by the theatrical atmosphere anchored by the dynamic noodle preparation area on center stage. With a style derived from the opulence of Ancient Shanghai, one will be amazed by the array of Oriental details executed in the most modern and innovative of materials, such as; metal screen panels with flower motifs, oversized red hanging lanterns, and exquisite hand-painted walls depicting poetry.
