7 Ceremonies of Tea
High tea has been a fixture on the regional tea scene for the past few years and hotels and tea rooms are now looking for new ways to stand out from the crowd in this popular market.
La Marquise’s Yurkina says: “Hotels in the region boasted for some time now lavish high tea ceremonies though taking into consideration that GCC customers are generally known for being demanding and trend driven we believe the next thing which would affect afternoon tea ceremonies is the theatre of serving: it has to be entertaining, discovering new ways of brewing tea and equipment for it making it a unique experience.”
Mutisya explains how she ensures a unique afternoon tea at the Fairmont The Palm adding: “The Afternoon Tea program at Mashrabiya lounge is inspired by the English, Scottish and Welsh tea traditions, with accompaniments prepared and presented in a unique way by the use of the finest fresh ingredients.
