THE LANGHAM, JAKARTA CELEBRATES 161 YEARS OF BRAND HERITAGE WITH THE LAUNCH OF THE  LANGHAM AFTERNOON TEA BOOK  

Honouring a legacy that began over 161 years ago, The Langham, Jakarta proudly  presents the launch of The Langham Afternoon Tea Book at ALICE by Tom Aikens. Recognised as the  birthplace of Afternoon Tea, The Langham has long transformed a quintessentially British ritual into an  elegant, world-renowned experience. Today, this enduring heritage is brought to life in Jakarta through a  refined culinary journey that blends time-honoured traditions with contemporary artistry. 

The Langham Afternoon Tea Book 

Designed as both a culinary experience and a celebration of heritage, The Langham Afternoon Tea Book is  also available as part of the offering—inviting guests to bring a piece of this timeless tradition into their  own homes. The official Langham cookbook is more than a collection of recipes; it is a celebration of  Afternoon Tea itself. Beautifully illustrated, it showcases both iconic and modern creations from The  Langham’s tea rooms, offering step-by-step guidance for recreating each dish at home. Alongside the  recipes, the book features expert tea-pairing recommendations and a comprehensive patisserie  fundamentals section, allowing readers to master the art of refined flavours and elegant presentation. 

“Afternoon Tea has long been at the heart of The Langham’s identity, dating back to the opening of our  London flagship in 1865, when we became the first Grand Hotel to introduce this refined ritual to the  public. Today, that enduring legacy continues to inspire us. With the creation of The Langham Afternoon  Tea Book, and its expression across our hotels, we bring this timeless tradition to life—inviting our guests  to experience and share in a heritage that has gracefully defined The Langham for generations,” said  Alexander Poindl, General Manager of The Langham, Jakarta. 

A celebration of taste and tradition

At ALICE by Tom Aikens, guests are invited to savour  a thoughtfully curated Afternoon Tea experience  inspired by signature recipes from The Langham  Afternoon Tea Book, with each creation drawn  directly from the book’s celebrated collection. From   the langham iconic scones to a selection of delicate  pastries and savouries, every element reflects a  commitment to craftsmanship, flavour, and elegance. 

The experience begins with a refined selection of  classic sandwiches, including Coronation Chicken  Curry, Homemade Smoked Salmon, Classic  Cucumber, and Roasted Beef—each offering a  harmonious balance of flavour and texture. 

This is followed by The Langham’s signature scones,   served warm in both plain and raisin varieties,  accompanied by homemade orange marmalade,   strawberry jam, and traditional clotted cream. 

The journey concludes with an indulgent array of sweet and savoury creations, from elegant pastries such  as Red Velvet Cake and Pistachio and Raspberry Flower to savoury highlights including Salmon Waffle,  Warm French Onion Quiche, and Beef Tartare Cone—perfectly paired with a curated selection of fine teas  by Dammann Frères.
