Treat Mum to some magic at Twinings

TWININGS TEA Boutique at CentralWorld is celebrating Mother’s Day all month with special teas and desserts for you and your mum to linger over. 

The salon – the world’s first and only full-scale Twinings tea boutique – has a “modern English” setting with comfy sofas and a marble floor. It’s a calming oasis of porcelain cups where the tea is blended precisely according to your preferences.

“You can fill your special moment with the characteristic fragrance of jasmine – the symbolic flower of maternal bonds – from the famous Twinings Jasmine Green Tea from Twinings of London, with various blends,” says business manager Supanya Archamongkol. 

“Twinings Jasmine Pearl, for example, is an exquisite blend of young, green tea leaves and jasmine pearls twisted and rolled together by hand into silvery balls, resulting in a blend that’s sweet, fragrant and fresh, with the delicate, fragrant taste of jasmine blossoms.

“Another highlight of our jasmine-tea range is Twinings Jasmine Bloom. Inspired by a renowned perfumier and the art of blending delicate scents to create luxurious perfumes, Twinings’ master blender applied the same discipline to balance the delicate flavours of tea. The finest selection of green tea from the world’s best source in China is scented with jasmine five times to deeply perfume it before blending the scented green tea with rose-flavoured black tea for a subtly balanced aroma and flavour of this blend.”

This month the tearoom is also serving an afternoon tea set, green-tea pudding cake and berry-yoghurt cake. 

The tea set offers delectable scones in original and Lady Grey flavours, served with clotted cream in lemon-curd style and rose jam, creme brulee, macaroons. There’s a variety of baked delicacies, such as mini-canapes, mini-quiches and mini-sandwiches. All of these are served with the Twinings tea of your choice at prices starting at Bt520 for the Prestige set and Bt950 for the Elegant set.

Decorated with red rose petals, the green-tea pudding cake is mildly sweet and comes with sliced strawberries and raspberries. It’s Bt180 per slice, or you can have a cup of tea chosen from six signature blends for Bt400. But the recommended blend is Jasmine Pearl that provides a rich infusion of jasmine green tea. 

The berry-yoghurt cake is sponge cake in red velvet colour for Bt180 or Bt400, again with your choice in a cup of tea. Combining the sweet and sour of berry mousse and yoghurt, the cake is served with “forest fruit sauce” made from Twinings Four Red Fruit tea and fresh strawberries and raspberries, resulting in just the right combination of sweetness, a slight tang and a pleasing aroma.
