Discover the exquisite Golden
Tips tea experience at The Rubens at the Palace
Hotel
Enjoy the decadent Royal Afternoon
Tea in London’s most regal location, overlooking The Royal Mews at
Buckingham Palace.
Adding to this already illustrious
experience, The Rubens Hotel, situated just 3 minutes from Victoria
Station, is now exclusively serving freshly baked scones, pastries
and finger sandwiches alongside Ceylon Golden Tips, in partnership
with specialist tea merchants PMD Tea.
This rare tea is produced in the
highlands of Sri Lanka and sold for an unprecedented price of
£10,12 s. 6d per lb in 1891 – today, that would equate to £1,260
per lb.
Fully handcrafted and skilfully
handpicked by expert tea pluckers at sunset in Sri Lanka, the
velvety, silvery tips are carefully turned into gold and sundried
on a velvet cloth.
With white-glove service, this
delicate tea is weighed with precision at The Rubens using golden
scales; each tip is placed into the silver teapot individually with
golden tweezers. The tea, which is showcased in a mahogany box
lined with velvet, is infused with still mineral water to produce
an extraordinary liquor and a smooth, light and mellow texture,
with hints of fruity notes.
To complete this unique
experience, you will be offered a glass of Champagne on arrival and
enjoy a Royal Afternoon Tea.
