TWG Tea introduces the Grand Fine Harvest Tea Collection, the brand’s first and only fine harvest collection to be packaged for retail. It comprises a set of four exclusive single-estate teas, harvested from renowned tea-producing countries around the globe. Each tea in this special collection represents the highest standard of quality unique to its tea-producing region.
Established in Singapore, TWG Tea was founded by Taha Bouqdib, Maranda Barnes and Rith Aum-Stievenard in 2008. A subsidiary of V3 Gourmet, the brand was developed as a luxury concept that incorporates unique and original retail outlets, elegant tea rooms and an international distribution network. The brand is currently present in over 70 locations around the world.
TWG Tea is committed to procuring its teas directly from source gardens located in every tea-producing country. The brand is recognised for its extensive selection of exclusive handcrafted tea blends. These include new blends of tea created every season in collaboration with renowned estates. Exquisite signature tea accessories and delicate tea-infused sweets and savouries complete the TWG Tea experience.
Taha Bouqdib, co-founder of TWG Tea is a distinguished tea visionary with over two decades of experience in the luxury tea industry. He spearheaded the curation of the Grand Fine Harvest Tea Collection.
He remarked: “The Grand Fine Harvest Tea Collection highlights the extreme geographic diversity and complexity of the tea plant, the multitude of forms it can take and the magical variety of flavors and aromas it can produce. To illustrate their value, I created an extravagant tea composed of silver tips – known as Yin Zhen – dusted with 24ct gold, which literally comes alive in the teacup. Golden Yin Zhen is the ultimate indulgence, the proof that tea is a living work of art.”
The four teas featured in this collection, now available in the UAE, are Grand Malawi, Grand Lung Ching, Grand Oolong and Grand Golden Yin Zhen. From the verdant plantations of Asia to the lush fields of Africa, each tea variety showcases the unique terroir of its origin. This one-of-a-kind tea compilation stems from the most celebrated tea-producing regions of China, Formosa, Ceylon, Darjeeling, Japan, and Malawi.
The Grand Fine Harvest Tea Collection is distinguished not just by the quality of its teas but also by its opulent packaging. Encased in exclusively designed gift boxes, these precious teas are stored in molten black hand-blown glass flasks that protect the leaves from sunlight while complementing their elegance.
The gold-embossed boxes, adorned with mystical birds symbolizing Nature’s sacred presence, serve as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship behind this extraordinary collection. Additionally, the lids of these boxes are ingeniously crafted to double as measuring cups.
The Grand Fine Harvest Tea Collection is available at TWG Tea Salons and Boutiques in Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates and Online.
