Patina Osaka, which opened in May 2025 as the first hotel in Japan by Capella Hotel Group, will host a limited-time collaboration afternoon tea with CHAUMET, the historic French jewelry maison founded in 1780 and loved by royal families and admirers around the world as a naturalist jeweler. The “Bee de Chaumet Afternoon Tea” will be available from Thursday, June 4, 2026, at Nijiri, the tea lounge on the hotel’s 19th floor. The honeycomb motif that symbolizes the collaboration theme, “Bee de Chaumet,” evokes a beehive formed over time, expanding endlessly through layered repetition. It represents bonds between people, love, and cherished feelings. In keeping with the old European romantic belief that bees find and bring happiness, bees have long been treasured as symbols of happiness, protective charms, and tokens of love. This idea resonates deeply with Patina Osaka’s philosophy of transformative luxury. As the name “Patina” suggests, values become more beautiful as they are polished by the passage of time, while encounters with a place and its people bring new perspectives that enrich and imprint each moment in the heart. The afternoon tea is a special collaboration born from the quiet harmony of both brands’ values. It is Patina Osaka’s first collaboration since opening and CHAUMET’s first collaboration in the Kansai area. Inspired by the order and harmony of the bee as a natural motif, the collection has been shaped through Patina Osaka’s sensibility into an afternoon tea reminiscent of sunlight. Like a work of art, it reflects French refinement and aesthetics in a contemporary way, expressed through Nijiri’s delicate sensibility in everything from tableware and presentation to the smallest details of the menu. The sweets include a honey lemon financier that faithfully reflects the world of the collection, finished with a gently sweet honey lemon glaze and fragrant lemon confit, evoking elegant jewelry. The guava and grapefruit mousse combines tropical aromas sui
