Timeless Heritage: The Art of Berkain Batik and Tea at Plataran Menteng

Plataran Menteng, a stunning venue renowned for its blend of colonial elegance and Indonesian tradition, recently hosted a unique and culturally rich event titled Timeless Heritage: The Art of Berkain Batik and Tea on Hari Batik Nasional. This celebration of heritage brought together two timeless aspects of Indonesian and global culture—the traditional art of Berkain Batik (wearing batik cloth) and the refined elegance of tea, courtesy of TWG Tea. The event was an homage to craftsmanship, cultural legacy, and the deep-rooted traditions that continue to inspire modern tastes.

A Tea Pairing with TWG Tea

Timeless Heritage features a curated selection of TWG Tea’s finest blends with Plataran’s finest new selection of elevated Afternoon Tea. The world-renowned luxury tea brand, known for its mastery in blending high-quality teas, brought an air of refinement to the event with its diverse array of flavors.

Guests were invited to savor the art of tea, exploring how different blends complement the intricate layers of sweet and savory afternoon tea menu. As the guests sipped on their fine teas, TWG Tea connoisseurs shared the history and artistry behind their tea-making process, from sourcing the finest leaves to blending unique flavors. This fusion of tradition, craftsmanship, and modern luxury highlighted the synergy between the ancient art of batik and the timeless ritual of tea drinking.

Reviving the Art of Berkain Batik

Batik, Indonesia’s iconic textile art, carries centuries of tradition, with each pattern telling a story of the region it originates from. Berkain, the style of wearing batik emphasizes the traditional wrapping and draping of batik cloth as an elegant garment, a practice that has been passed down through generations.

Guests were invited to rediscover the art of wearing batik, with a live demonstration of how to style and wear batik cloth in traditional and contemporary ways by Remaja Nusantara. The experience was not just a showcase of batik as a fabric but a deep dive into its cultural significance. The demonstration was a tribute to Indonesia’s artisanal heritage, showing that batik is more than a textile—it’s a living art form that reflects the soul of the nation.

A Celebration of Heritage and Craftsmanship

Timeless Heritage was a cultural experience that celebrated the beauty of Indonesian heritage and the global tradition of tea. The juxtaposition of the intricate art of berkain batik with the delicate sophistication of TWG Tea created a space where history, culture, and modern refinement came together.
