The drink that changed the world is enjoying a newfound renaissance
but gone are the days when the word “afternoon tea” conjured up image of
stuffy waiters serving scones and marmalade in old-fashioned tea rooms
to guests clad in their Sunday best. And this is in no small part thanks
to TWG Tea, the Singapore-based gourmet tea brand that in a matter of
years has revolutionized the tea world and turned this beverage into a
true luxury. With its rare blends, handpicked by the founder in
plantations across Asia, its sophisticated packaging and, above all, its
chic tea salons, TWG Tea has become a bona fide luxury brand. Its
Singapore outposts, from the sleek branch on the third floor of ION
Orchard to the recently opened salon at Takashimaya, all evoke a sense
of refinement without the Louis XIV accents and baroque touches typical
of tea rooms around the world. Boasting over 800 blends and updating its
offerings every season, not unlike the collections of the most
sought-after fashion houses, TWG Tea offers a 360-degree luxury
experience and is celebrating its success with its first ever Tea Book, a
fascinating compendium of the rich and elaborate blends available at
its boutiques, with in-depth descriptions of the teas and lavish
illustrations depicting the journey each leaf makes before reaching the
sophisticated salons of TWG. It’s a small gift to treasure while
enjoying a warm cup of our favourite white tea, the prized Yin Zhen,
whose strong aftertaste will linger long after your first sip of this
powerful concoction. Visit www.TWGTea.com
