Where? TWG Tea, Dubai Mall https://www.twgtea.com/location/details?store=159
How much? AED998 (£175) per pot
This is, quite frankly, a ridiculous tea. The leaves for this blend are grown on just one hillside in China's Sichuan province, and they are harvested on one day of the year using golden scissors. Only the leaves from the top of the plant make it into TWG's Yellow Gold Tea – and (you guessed it) each one is dipped in gold.
But does it taste nice? Taieb Charif, TWG Tea Salon & Boutique’s 'Tea Connoisseur' thinks so: “It has this mineral taste and a gentle hint of flowers, but really light. Even 30 minutes after drinking it, you will still have the taste of this tea in your mouth. It’s exceptional.” Pass the biscuits!
