Tea

Bristol's own selection of teas

Bristol sources the highest quality tea leaves from across the globe, curating the ultimate tea-drinking experience for our guests. Symbolizing 8 integral facets of Norway, each represents one of the carefully selected teas. Bristol aspires for our guests to treasure these 8 tea varieties and evoke fond memories of their time in Bristol upon encountering these elements again

Wooden - House Jasmine Dragon Pearls

Young spring picked buds of green tea, naturally scented with fresh jasmine flowers over five whole nights. The result is a soft, vivid infusion with the sublimely enchanting aroma of sweet, fragrant jasmine.

Lake - April LongJing

An organic example of one of China's most prized green teas. Hand-picked in spring 2022 and expertly pan-fired, it's nourishing and uplifting with vivid spring-fresh flavours and roasted hazelnut sweetness.

Mountain - Wild Mountain Tea

In the forests of Fujian, China, numerous ancient tea trees grow. Local tea farmers handpick the leaves during the best seasons. Through a series of processes, they create tea with a rich flavor and a hint of orchid fragrance.

Fjord - Earl Grey

An invigorating black tea lifted by fresh and exuberant citrus. For supreme texture and flavour, a touch of natural bergamot extract tempers the tea's inherent richness.

Sunshine - Peach Oolong

Peach Oolong offers a mellow and refreshing taste with a fresh and pure aroma reminiscent of dried white peaches.

Garden - Oolong rose

The flowers and tea together create a sense of autumn, offering a layered and delightful taste that lingers. The infusion is dense, pure, and provides a floral aroma without any bitterness or astringency.

Snow - White Peony Tea

This traditional combination of white tea buds and leaves steeps a smooth, flowery cup with slight earthy notes and flavors of melon.

Forest - Blackcurrants and roselle hibiscus

A quenching, vivacious blend of juicy blackcurrants and dried roselle hibiscus, eliciting a balanced infusion which is naturally bursting with bold flavour and a gentle tartness.

A slice of Morocco – in the centre of Oslo

The Hotel Bristol was designed by Finn Rahn (1879–1936), the architect, noted in particular for the design of what was known as ‘the Moorish Hall’ – Vinterhaven & Bibliotekbaren you see today. Rahn drew his inspiration from Morocco, where he spent every winter. Even though the rooms have been refurbished, the Moorish style and characteristic interiors have been well-preserved. In other words, you can enjoy good food and drink in historic Moroccan surroundings!

The historic centrepiece

Musicians, politicians, writers and actors have drawn inspiration here since 1920.

Experience our British traditional Afternoon Tea.

 

Teatime

We love a good cup of tea at the Bristol. You can either order Afternoon Tea, or just a single cup, but always from a complete range of different types. We also have our own signature blend we produce ourselves: aromatic, black tea, flavoured with chunks of orange, citrus fruits and rose petals.

Sweet temptation

If you have a sweet tooth, this is the place to be. We receive freshly-baked cakes (seven different!), scones, ice cream and sorbet every day from the Bristol’s own bakery. We specialise in French pâtisseries, with Napoleon Cake as one of the best sellers.

Finely cut sandwiches

One of the highlights of Vinterhaven & Bibliotekbaren is the wonderful tall sandwiches. Here you can pick and choose from several delicious sandwiches, topped with everything from shrimp and roast beef, to plaice and smoked salmon. A delight for both eye and palate!

Best cocoa in town

Our guests still tell us that they think we have the best cocoa in town, and we can only agree. We make our cocoa from the best Belgian dark chocolate and full cream milk, served in a silver jug with perfectly-whisked cream to go with it.

Indoor parking

The Bristol garage is open to both staying and dining guests.
