Seasonal Sweets
At Dessert Cafe Nagarakkan, we offer sweets made from seasonal ingredients. The flavors and types change with the seasons and are only available at that time of year. Made with sustainable ingredients and only available on full-board basis. Our afternoon tea sweets and scones are also handmade by our patissier.
Chorakukan coffee blends
Chorakukan's coffee is made from specially roasted, home-ground coffee beans, a blend of beans from Tanzania, Brazil, and Colombia. The coffee is brewed using a special nerd drip brewing method that adjusts to the temperature and humidity of the day, giving it a mild flavor without any cloying taste. The aroma of deep-roasted beans. The mellow mouthfeel. It is a seasoned taste that has been enjoyed for many years.
Chorakukan Blended Tea
Chorakukan's blended tea is an original blend that can only be tasted here. Based on Ceylon tea from Sri Lanka, we have added the organic herb "honeybush" from South Africa to give it an autochthonous flavor and aroma. Straight, with milk, with lemon, or any other way you like to drink this blend, choose the one that suits your mood. It is a perfect complement to cakes, scones, sandwiches, and a wide range of other foods, making your tea time extra special.
Live piano music
The wooden piano located in the lobby of the main building of Chorakukan is a Bösendorfer, a treasure from Vienna. A pianist performs live music in the café and at dinner time. Please enjoy an elegant time while listening to the sound of the piano echoing throughout the building.
