Swarovski Afternoon Tea Sparkles at the Writers Bar in Raffles Makati
During our recent trip to Europe, one of the countries I really loved visiting was Austria. This was not just because of its majestic castles, palaces, or it being the birthplace of Mozart and the location for the movie "A Sound of Music." What I really like about Austria is that it is the home of the Swarovski crystals which I Iove buying and collecting. So imagine my surprise when I came back to Manila and found out that Raffles Makati was holding a special Swarovski Afternoon Tea at the Writers Bar until the end of the month. That's why I immediately scheduled a visit to my favorite luxury hotel in the country.
The Writers Bar in Raffles Makati is offering an exclusive and limited-time only Swarovski Sparkling Afternoon Tea Delight from September 28 until November 27, 2023. This is available daily at the Writers Bar from 2:00pm to 3:30 pm and from 4:00pm to 5:30pm. Each afternoon tea set for two is offered at P3,000 nett which includes a choice of premium TWG tea or coffee with optional upgrades for mocktail, cocktails, and champagne.
The Writers Bar is open from 2:00pm to 11:00pm daily at the ground floor of Raffles Makati. A revered institution at all Raffles locations, the Writers Bar pays tribute to all the iconic writers who have found inspiration at Raffles over the years. Designed to resemble a library and bathed in natural sunlight, it is an oasis of calm and tranquility, surrounded by soothing music, exquisite art, and the written legacies of literary luminaries.
The Swarovski Afternoon Tea at Raffles Makati is a collaboration between two storied brands that embody decades of timeless elegance.
We actually visited one of the flagship stores of Swarovski in Innsbruck, Austria during our European honeymoon last month. Since 1895, founder Daniel Swarovski’s mastery of crystal cutting has defined the company. His enduring passion for innovation and design has made it the world’s premier jewelry and accessory brand. Today, the family carries on the tradition of delivering extraordinary everyday style to women around the world.
Daniel Swarovski’s vision was to create “a diamond for everyone”. He invented an electric machine that cut more accurately than ever before, marking the beginning of a new era for crystals.
We had a great time choosing our favorite crystals at the Swarovski stores in Innsbruck and Vienna, Austria. We did bring home quite a few items since these were being sold much cheaper in Austria as compared to other countries.
Back in Manila, we invited our friends Matt and Chinkee Koppe together with their pretty daughter Chiara for some catching up and to try these sparkling and colorful tea sets. Afternoon tea is an elegant pre-evening tête-à-tête popularized in Europe with its own history and traditional ceremonies. Raffles has been serving afternoon tea for more than 100 years so you can always get the best high tea experience in the country here.
Guests will first have their own choice of coffee or tea from Raffles Makati’s finest selection of flavors courtesy of TWG Tea.
Guests will then be presented with the three-tier Swarovski Afternoon Tea set. The set was crafted by Raffles’ culinary artisans as an interpretation of the brand’s Austrian heritage, innovation, and savoir-faire since 1895. The high tea menu features a variety of savory and sweet treats featuring the iconic swan and the vibrant brand colors of Swarovski.
We started our afternoon tea with the scones. Chef Bèla combines the Classic Scones together with Apple Strudel Scones which is a popular pastry in Austria.
These are paired with clotted cream and strawberry jam. Slice your scones in half horizontally and place the cream or jam on top, depending on your preference.
The topmost layer of the tea set consists of sweet temptations including the Cassis Macaron, Crystal inspired Praline, and Small Rum Cake.
The middle tier comes with other sweet and colorful items like the Crystal Glazed reinvented Raspberry Linzer, Cube of Sacher Cake and White Wine Coconut Spritzer. Everything looks too cute to eat!
Lastly, the bottom tier comes with savory items such as the Seared Tuna with Mango Cilantro Salsa, Sweet Chicken and Avocado Blinis, Caponata Wrap with Alfalfa Sprouts, Green Mango Tart with Sea Grapes, and Vegan Cheese Bruschetta with Calamansi Pearls.
For a more bubbly afternoon tea experience, there's also an option to upgrade your tea set to include two glasses of Golden Sparkle Mocktail for only P550++. This is a light and refreshing drink that will highlight the bold flavors of the pastries even more.
Better yet, upgrade your beverage to include two glasses of Swarovski Special Cocktail for P1200++. This colorful concoction is the best way to enjoy this exquisite afternoon tea set.
You only have a few weeks left to experience this limited-time offer for yourselves. Book your Swarovski Afternoon Tea by calling Raffles Makati or through the online reservations page at https://bit.ly/BookTheWritersBar.
