When the autumn forest becomes an afternoon tea table, the season’s colors, aromas, and textures take on shapes worth savoring slowly.
InterContinental Taichung Executive Pastry Chef Buddy Lin draws on the imagery of forests, orchards, and earth to design “Autumn Harvest” — an InterContinental afternoon tea for two at Leaves and Vines, unfolding autumn’s flavors with elegance between richness and brightness.

Autumn Mont Blanc Mille-Feuille
Blackcurrant Jam｜Caramelized Inverted Puff Pastry｜Vanilla Sauce
The star of this season, the Autumn Mont Blanc Mille-Feuille pairs caramelized inverted puff pastry with the soft, silken richness of chestnut chantilly. Blackcurrant jam brings bright acidity to balance the depth of caramel and chestnut, while a vanilla crème anglaise brings the finish full circle.
Before tasting, guests may choose their favorite pairing from a selection of rum, vanilla, or pistachio truffle chocolates.
Savory Canapés
The savory course weaves earthy elements — pumpkin, mushroom, and black truffle — into every bite: from the richness of foie gras mousse and duck confit to the freshness of salmon tartare and yuzu sour cream, offering a full, layered flavor experience without ever feeling heavy.
- Salmon Tartare Yuzu Sour Cream｜Tartlet
- Arousaï Herring Roe Miso Mayonnaise｜Baby Potato
- Foie Gras Mousse Duck Confit｜Pumpkin Pudding
- Black Truffle Choux Aged Gruyère Cheese｜Forest Mushroom Mousse
Sweet Canapés
The “Acorn Hazelnut” takes the delicate form of an acorn, layering caramel mousse with hazelnut praliné; the “Avocado, Lime and Nut Cake” brings a bright, tangy citrus note and a crisp nutty base, offering a light counterpoint to autumn’s warm, mellow flavors.
- Acorn Hazelnut Caramel Mousse｜Hazelnut Praliné
- Avocado, Lime and Nut Cake Avocado Lime Cashew Cream｜Nutty Crumble Base
Dessert Trolley Service｜Select Any Two
The dessert trolley makes its graceful rounds table by table, offering guests a choice of any two from our selection of Italian gelato, Lemon Cake de Voyage, and raspberry pound cake — a leisurely, sweet finish to the afternoon.

The Classic Scones
Cranberry Scone｜Orange Marmalade｜Clotted Cream
Rooted in the tradition of the English tea table, these scones are brought to life with the brightness of house-made orange marmalade. Crisp at the edge, tender within — each bite an invitation to let the afternoon slow to its own quiet pace.
Beverage Pairings｜Select Any Two per Set
Leaves and Vines has thoughtfully curated a selection of coffees and teas to accompany each course, inviting you to choose the perfect flavor companion for this summer afternoon.
Coffee Selection
From the pure intensity of an Espresso to the mellow clarity of an Americano, the silken warmth of a Caffè Latte, and the velvety depth beneath a Cappuccino’s fine foam — each cup is a quiet conversation with the afternoon.
Tea Selection
Our tea menu centers on TWG’s celebrated collection, spanning five distinct flavor profiles for a journey across the world’s great tea traditions. TWG Vanilla Bourbon Rooibos Tea soothes with gentle herbal sweetness; TWG Chamomile Tea arrives light and luminous as an afternoon breeze; TWG Earl Grey Tea interprets English elegance through the floral depth of bergamot; TWG Moroccan Mint Tea invigorates with its cool and exotic character; while Nantou Jinxuan Oolong Tea — nurtured in Taiwan’s own tea gardens — leaves the most tender local impression upon the afternoon.
