Is it afternoon tea or high tea? These terms are often used interchangeably now, but they have different British origins. Long ago, afternoon tea was offered mid-afternoon to fill the long wait between lunch and dinner and was traditionally served with scones with jam and cream, cakes, and pastries. For an ultimate tea time experience, TWG Tea has put together a Tea Table Essentials Guide that has everything you need to enjoy an idyllic afternoon fête for any occasion.
The Perfect Tea
Unwind with the fragrant and highly refined Silver Moon Tea (P1,895) which is a suave blend of green teas accented with grand berry and vanilla bouquet. Delight yourself with a cup of 1837 Black Tea (P1,895), a uniquely bold blend of black tea with notes of fruits and flowers from the Bermuda triangle which has a lingering aftertaste of ripe berries, anise, and caramel. And for tea lovers of all ages, the Eternal Summer Tea (P1,255) is caffeine-free that can be enjoyed warm or iced, any time of day. This fragrant South Africa red tea is embellished with notes of sweet summer rose blossoms with raw berries accent and a lingering aftertaste of ripe Tuscan peaches.
The Tea Table
Add a dose of style and personality to your tea table with beautiful tea accessories. The TWG Tea Design Collection includes the Design Teapot (P10,995) has a high-quality polished warmer with an inner felt lining that envelopes the ceramic teapot and keeps the tea warm, up to an hour. TWG teapots come with a specially designed removable filter that allows the leaves to develop their fragrance during the infusion. Match the teapot with the luxurious Design Sugar Bowl and Design Creamer (P4,595) to complete the tea time experience and impress your tea party guests. One measure of Silver Tea Scoop (P895) is approximately the right amount of tea leaves to prepare a cup of tea. Allow them to infuse in a teapot or use a Tea Infuser, stir it into your mug to create a perfectly prepared cup of tea.
The Ambiance
Elevate the tea party experience with some fresh flowers and enhance the senses with the Macaron Noir Tea Scented Candle (P3,895), a rich and mysterious fragrance of black tea and sweets to warm the senses and entice the palate, or the Miraculous Mandarin Tea Scented Candle (P3,895), a panorama of black tea, rich spices, frankincense and notes of candied sweetness. The perfect accompaniment to transform luxury tea drinking into a breathtaking olfactory experience.
