TWG Paris-Singapore Tea

My first encounter with TWG’s (The Wellness Group), a Singapore-based tea company, tea was really when I was on a staycation at Moevenpick Heritage Hotel Sentosa last weekend. TWG’s Paris-Singapore Tea is the first tea that I have tried from this brand. TWG describes its Paris-Singapore tea as a “distinguished green tea enhanced with fragrant cherry blossoms & red fruits. A sensual & sweet tea of reminiscence”.

True to its description, the Paris-Singapore tea has a very strong aroma of cherry (something that somehow reminds me of medicine, unfortunately), that I failed to taste the other ingredients (what other red fruits?). Perhaps if you love cherries and/or happen to like the combination it would be a nice tea and worth a try. One thing to note about the tea bags is that they are different from your regular tea bags: they are more porous, being made of 100% cotton and hand sewn, allowing the tea more room to flavor your hot water. It works well, just that I really didn’t like the strong cherry flavor and maybe because I am not a tea connoisseur that I cannot appreciate this tea.

I am not a fan of sweets, so I don’t really go out of my way to look for tea or sweets. However, if you want to try the various sweets and teas that TWG offers you can always head down to the following places for a try:
