If beauty had a flavour it would probably taste like the indulgent delights of The Langham, Jakarta’s Afternoon Tea. Rolling out from 5 February until 5 April 2024 at the hotel’s renowned dining destination ALICE, this special set is the fruit of collaboration with the legendary French beauty house, Guerlain.
Inspired by the exquisite Orchidée Impériale skincare line—Guerlain’s homage to the regenerative magic of orchids—this limited-time experience is a seamless blend of culinary artistry and timeless indulgence. Expect refined flavours, opulent presentation, and a touch of beauty-driven indulgence, all wrapped in a setting as sophisticated as the occasion itself.
For nearly two centuries, Guerlain has been synonymous with luxury, crafting fragrances, skincare, and cosmetics that embody effortless French refinement. It only makes sense that in its first foray into the world of Jakarta’s Afternoon Tea scene, the offerings would be nothing short of tantalising. The menu has been curated to reflect the elegance and vitality of orchids, translating Guerlain’s signature sophistication into a gastronomic experience that delights the palates.
The menu itself is helmed by Executive Pastry Chefs Norbert and Refky, on the sweet side, guests can indulge in the likes of a golden macaron infused with tropical mango and passion fruit, a decadent chocolate-hazelnut millefeuille, and a passion fruit and white chocolate crème brûlée that promises a symphony of textures and flavours. The savoury selections are equally scrumptious, it features luxurious bites such as salmon tartare cones, prawn tarts bursting with citrus zest, and an elevated take on the Scotch egg—quail edition, no less.
No proper Afternoon Tea is complete without scones, and ALICE delivers with classic plain and Earl Grey sultana varieties, served with mascarpone chantilly, lemon curd, and mixed berry jam. As for refreshments, the zero-proof beverage pairings are an exercise in balance and sophistication, with botanical infusions like Gold Pond (osmanthus, pineapple, and white chocolate syrup) and L’Or Fleur (chamomile carbonate, elderflower, and clarified pineapple) offering a refined alternative to traditional tea pairings.
Priced at IDR 658,000++ for two persons—or IDR 738,000++ for those opting for a selection of fine Dammann Frères teas—this Afternoon Tea also offers the chance to win an exclusive Guerlain giveaway worth IDR 10 million, while every patron will receive a voucher for a luxury gift set, redeemable at the Guerlain Ultimate Boutique in Plaza Senayan.
For those with a penchant for the finer things in life, this limited-time Afternoon Tea is an experience one does not wish to miss.
