A Celebration of Australian Botanicals

Bringing together the culinary expertise of The Treasury at InterContinental Sydney and The Charles, this exclusive High Tea collaboration celebrates Australia’s native botanical landscape through a bespoke selection of sweet and savoury creations.

At the heart of the experience is a dessert collection by The Charles’ Head Pastry Chef, Rhiann Mead. Highlights include a reimagining of her signature honey cake with Earl Grey and bergamot, dark chocolate, rosemary and olive oil choux, and juniper and blackcurrant bonbons.

Developed in collaboration with The Treasury’s culinary team, the desserts complement savoury creations showcasing native Australian ingredients, including finger lime, pepperberry and samphire.

The result is a distinctive Sydney High Tea experience that brings together The Charles’ signature patisserie and The Treasury’s contemporary Australian approach.
