The Lobby Lounge at The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur has added a bubbly twist to its traditional English Afternoon Tea with the introduction of Laurent-Perrier champagne to complement the different teas, sandwiches, scones and pastries, all to be enjoyed in the contemporary elegance of The Lobby Lounge.

The unique and elegant champagne is the perfect accompaniment to the beautifully arranged three-tier English Afternoon Tea set presenting freshly baked scones, biscuits of chocolate lavender, mouth-watering finger sandwiches and delicate pastries. Additionally, the huge array of 40 different teas ranging from black tea to fruit or herbal infusions is enough to satisfy even the most exacting tea connoisseur.

Discovered 5,000 years ago, tea has crossed oceans, begun battles and signified the independence of nations. In the 17th century, tea was perceived as medicinal by the Russian nobility, who were so convinced of its herbal qualities that tea leaves were imported all the way from the territory of west Mongolia. The Samovar brewing appliance is a practical filtration system that was used by those wealthy aristocrats to enhance tea flavour. This tradition is continued today at The Lobby Lounge of The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur with the Samovar as its highlighted feature.

Champagne Afternoon Tea includes a glass of Laurent-Perrier champagne, a three-tier Afternoon Tea set with sandwiches, quiches, pies, scones, pastries and a choice of 40 Ronnefeldt teas.
