This season, experience a contemporary Afternoon Tea at The St. Regis Jakarta, created in collaboration with Augustinus Bader. This partnership blends science, technique, and tradition, offering moments of calm indulgence and refined luxury.
Guided by Professor Augustinus Bader’s philosophy, the brand is renowned worldwide for its innovative TFC8® technology, using science‑based formulations developed through years of regenerative research. These draw from amino acids, vitamins, and naturally inspired ingredients.
Inspired by this approach, Executive Pastry Chef Kevin Lee has curated a selection of sweet and savory items using ingredients aligned with the brand’s formulations, including mushrooms, algae (seaweed, kelp, and spirulina), and green tea—ingredients often associated with nutrient density and natural functional benefits. The menu highlights Beef Tataki with mushroom duxelles and Miso‑marinated scallop with seaweed, paired with desserts such as a White Chocolate Tart with a blue veil, using spirulina as a natural source of the blue color, as well as Matcha Opera and a Matcha Lemon Scone.
“Translating a skincare philosophy into food was always a challenge, because the ingredients had to make sense on the plate, not just conceptually,” says Chef Kevin Lee. “We worked with mushrooms, algae, and green tea very deliberately, focusing on balance without compromising flavor.”
This luxury Afternoon Tea will be available from 11 May to 18 June at The Drawing Room, reflecting a shared approach between Augustinus Bader and The St. Regis Jakarta, where a balance of science, technique, and tradition guides every element without altering the essence of the ritual.
