Sample one of the world’s finest teas with this famous Golden Tips tea experience at The Rubens at the Palace. This 5-star hotel is one of London’s most luxurious hotels, oozing elegance and splendour. Steeped in history and royal heritage, this Victorian hotel sits overlooking Buckingham Palace, so it’s perfectly placed for a day soaking up great British culture. Take a seat in The Palace Lounge where you’ll be served arguably one of the best and most exclusive teas Sri Lanka has to offer. Grown at an altitude of 6000m near Adams Peak, Ceylon Golden Tips is a very rare and exotic loose-leaf tea. Receive white-glove service, where your waiter will weigh out this delicate tea to precision using golden scales before infusing with mineral water to produce an extraordinary liquor and a smooth, light texture with fruity notes. This gorgeous tea blend will be served alongside a regal afternoon tea of sandwiches, scones, cakes, pastries and a bottle of Lanson Champagne. It’s the ultimate experience for a tea connoisseur!
