I am already familiar with TWG teas (not all of them, there are so many!). I am confident their afternoon tea is worth the try as English knows a thing or two about scones and marmalade. But what about lunch? This would be a lot more challenging! So let’s go!
My friend who loves tea will come along as my expert to try it out. The space is cozy but full of businessmen, housewives, English tourists and refined octogenarians. However our adorable waitress rapidly found us a table and helped us while away the time with some delicious Silver Moon tea. A quick look at the menu and we go for the enticing Set Lunch, even though all the offerings are tempting.
We begin with foie gras (not very British, but I have to admit that with its fig jam, it is absolutely delicious - words from a French person). Following are the lobster tails on a bed of Spinach with tea infused tomato sauce. If the frittata which accompanies the meal is a bit disappointing, the rest of the dish is superb. In the meantime, my friend is on Instagram, taking pictures of her colorful seared tuna and heirloom tomato salad. Her tea vinaigrette perfumed the entire table. Apparently she is having a blast.
To end the meal, what’s better than a good cup of tea and a pastry from the trolley. I will leave you to choose, all look scrumptious.
I am now convinced: Tea WG has a lot more to offer than a cup of tea.
