Exclusively launching for Autumn/Winter 2011, the limited edition Stephen Webster Bijoux Tea has been inspired by Stephen’s most recent jewellery collection ‘Murder She Wrote’. The ‘Murder She Wrote’ collection uses diamonds and colourful stones to create dramatic, statement pieces, which are an artistic impression and reinvention of the murder mystery genre. Intricate cakes and sweet patisseries have been created to reflect Webster’s eclectic designs.
As the ultimate treat, the Stephen Webster Bijoux Afternoon Tea celebrates both British fashion and traditional afternoon tea with transgressive design and literary heritage. The edible masterpieces substitute sparkling diamonds for shimmering icing and dense gold for light cake within the decadent setting of the elegant Palm Court.
Accompanied by luxury savoury sandwiches and indulgent chocolate scones, the tea will feature unique creations based on Webster designs, including the Crystal Clear Diamond, a lightly perfumed Guinness macaroon with blackcurrant jelly, the Poison Apple, a red peppercorn and dark chocolate shortbread, and a roasted green pistachio Chantilly with airy meringue sponge inspired by Stephen Webster’s Armadillo ring.
Choosing and savouring your tea from the beautifully chosen and well described tea list will complete this wonderful Afternoon Tea experience!
