The Blooming Hour Afternoon Tea at InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah

InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah Introduces The Blooming Hour

Afternoon Tea at The Lounge

A new floral and botanical afternoon tea, available this September

This September, the afternoon comes into bloom at InterContinental Jakarta Pondok Indah. The landmark hotel in South Jakarta introduces The Blooming Hour Afternoon Tea, a floral and botanical afternoon tea at The Lounge.

Set beneath the chandelier, with daylight through the high windows, The Lounge makes an elegant setting for an unhurried afternoon. The experience draws its inspiration from the garden, delicate, floral and quietly beautiful.

To begin, guests are welcomed with a striking violet mocktail inspired by the water lily, made with butterfly pea, yuzu and sparkling grape, a refreshing prelude to what follows.

A collection of sweets and savouries is then presented together on the signature gold tiered stand. Among the sweets are a raspberry, lychee and rose pastry, a delicate elderflower panna cotta with mixed berries, and freshly baked scones with Chantilly cream and raspberry jam.

The savouries include smoked sablefish with ikura and blue cheese and onion quiche with pear compote, alongside chicken pelalah on warm turmeric focaccia, a quiet nod to Balinese heritage.

A selection of fine teas accompanies the afternoon, each poured warm from hand-picked blue-and-white porcelain.

It is an afternoon designed to be lingered over.

The Blooming Hour Afternoon Tea is available daily at The Lounge from 2:00PM to 5:00PM. Reservations are recommended.
