MANILA, Philippines – Raffles Makati presents another concept to its signature Afternoon Tea at the Writers Bar. The Honey Bliss Afternoon Tea is a collection of sweet and savoury bites inspired by the flavourful honey produced by Raffles Makati’s very own bee colonies. This marks the fourth installment of honey-themed afternoon teas at Raffles Makati, introducing new flavourful creations to a classic tradition that began in 2022.
Led by the team of executive chef Daniel Guevara, the signature afternoon tea at the Writers Bar offers a journey of culinary delights inspired by this versatile and rich ingredient. Explore the savoury art of Lady Grey Onion Prosciutto Tartlet, Quail Egg Guacamole Tapenade Cradle, Raffles Organic Honey Pistachio Sphere, Orange Blossom Honey Salmon Blini, and Hibiscus Tea Beetroot Napoleon. For sweets, delight in the Honey Clementine, Supreme Chocolate Honey Almond Tart, Honey Macadamia Passion, Honey Baklava Pouch, Matcha Honey Yoghurt Macaron, and Raspberry Tofu Tahini Praline. Lastly, no afternoon tea is complete without the Writers Bar signature classic scone and the new bacon honey scone to pair with clotted cream and jam.
At the heart of each afternoon tea component is the homegrown honey, a testament to Raffles Makati’s dedication to sustainability. For several years, these bee colonies have been nurtured and harvested from to supply the hotel with honey that is packed with antioxidants and is exceptionally tasteful. Paired with locally and sustainably sourced ingredients, the Honey Bliss Afternoon Tea is an experience of thoughtfully grown ingredients transformed by the culinary expertise of the master chefs at Raffles Makati.
Enjoy the Honey Bliss Afternoon Tea at Writers Bar from 5 June until 31 July 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM. The tea set is available for PHP 3,200++ for two persons with options for cocktail and zero-proof upgrades. For table reservations, please contact (63) 2 8555 9840 or email dining.makati@raffles.com.
