This April, the buzzy, fizzy, entirely booked-out Maybourne Beverly Hills x Claridge’s afternoon tea is back for two days only, and this time, it has an assist from Gwyneth Paltrow‘s lifestyle brand, goop.

Heralding the start of spring with a festive English garden in the heart of Beverly Hills and nodding to goop’s limited-edition clothing collection with British designer Emilia Wickstead, which launches at the end of March, Claridge’s Afternoon Tea at The Maybourne Beverly Hills illustrates a playful fusion of traditional English culture with the vibrancy of California. The tea service will take place on April 1st and 2nd at 2:00 PM and is bookable to the public through OpenTable. Guests will enjoy the traditional teatime ritual with California inspired treats, and a distinctive goop twist.
Presented at the hotel’s enchanting white parasol dotted restaurant, The Terrace, overlooking the Beverly Cañon Gardens, guests will enjoy tea service in a lush garden setting, surrounded by a white jacketed team and the sounds of a grand piano. The elegant tea will be served on peach and white striped bone China by French porcelain purveyor Bernardaud, accompanied by a menu featuring a selection of traditional favorites
with Californian updates.

Highlights from the menu include smoked salmon and cucumber sandwiches, pastries created by Claridge’s Executive Pastry Chef Thibault Hauchard from scones with whipped ricotta to a strawberry Eton mess, and a goop-inspired amuse bouche from Paltrow’s personal recipe
collection, and more, alongside a variety of perfectly poured loose-leaf tea. Guests will also have the chance to experience a variety of best-sellers from goop’s award-winning beauty collection and shop a curated goop assortment onsite.
The spring debut of the Emilia Wickstead x goop collection is an elevated, playful take on the English garden party, drawing inspiration from Cecil Beaton’s photographs of flowers taken at his Wiltshire country home, Reddish House. The Emilia Wickstead x goop collection launches on March 26 exclusively on goop.com and emiliawickstead.com. Elements of the collection will be on display during the afternoon tea residency at The Maybourne Beverly Hills the following weekend.
