Collaborations have become a popular trend in the afternoon tea scene in recent years. Starting September 1, W Taipei has teamed up with the renowned Italian brand Chiara Ferragni to debut a new co-branded duo afternoon tea set titled “WILD WINKS Throw a Flirtatious Glance.” Priced at NT$1,800 + 10% service charge, the set is available daily from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM in limited quantities. The first 50 reservations will also receive two NT$500 VIP vouchers provided by Chiara Ferragni.

The “WILD WINKS Throw a Flirtatious Glance” set was created through the collaboration of Executive Pastry Chef Fabrizio, Chinese Restaurant Executive Chef Wu Haiming, and Pastry Specialist He Yumei. Inspired by Chiara Ferragni’s autumn/winter concept — “the wild genes that crave freedom” — the afternoon tea infuses this theme throughout, while also featuring the brand’s iconic wink motif on the desserts.

Other dessert offerings include the Wild Muse Chocolate Trio, Starry Red Velvet Sandwich Cookies, Cheesecake Parade, Chiara Heel, Pink Lightning Strawberry Macarons, Wild Mille-feuille, Glitter Fruit Jelly, and Vintage Fried Dough Balls.
