Nothing more British than afternoon tea, right? Once in London, this experience is worth having. And on my last trip to the English capital, that’s what I did, being the first Brazilian journalist to try the new afternoon tea with drinks at Beck at Brown’s, in the historic Brown’s Hotel, Mayfair. In partnership with the renowned tea brand Lalani & Co, the AperiTEAvo is an exclusive program that gives another meaning to this 300-year-old English tradition!

About the hotel
Brown’s Hotel is nothing more than the London’s first hotel, built on Albemarle Street in 1837. Since then, iconic figures have stayed there, from royalty and presidents to great writers. In fact, it was at Brown’s that the author Rudyard Kipling wrote “The Jungle Book”, called the Kipling Suite. The hotel, which is part of the British group Rocco Forte Hotels, has 115 authentically designed rooms and suites designed by Olga Polizzi, daughter of Sir Rocco Forte, a tribute to the hotel’s illustrious heritage.
