I'm not a pro, but i love tea very much. So it's always a challenging process for me to choose the best tea flavor that can keep my mood & beat by the time i crave for ones. This one goes when i face many choices of tea, like served in Tea et al. It took me 10 mins only to find the best smell & taste of tea from their 20ish collections. Their tea came from many sources, which i guess mostly from Srilanka.
I came here unintentionally, but remember mba UrsAndNic review about this place. So i paid a visit while on Plaza Indonesia. Â
Place is kinda small, looks like a tea-time-waiting because it's located in front of supermarket.
The waitress is actively offers tea sampling to customers & explain very well about the origin & the taste. So before i stepped in, i already taste their honeydew green tea & darjeeling. Honeydew green tea was gewwd, you can taste the sweet although it didn't have sugar in it. Darjeeling was ordinary, same like i taste before.
For the tea variety they have quite unique blend from Genmaicha, flower blend, fruits blend, Chinese tea, etc -with all those exotic names! Choco noir, L'Amour, frenzy berry.. Does that sound exotic enough in our ears?Â
My choice was Scarlet rose. You know already what kind of blend it is. With green tea based, they mix rose & blue flower that give a bitter yet soo fragrance tea aroma.. And the taste dance in my mouth. I still remember how it smells at their first pour ?
Although it's a tea bag, the second pot still awesome as the first one. And the last cup had the depest taste. All served in a beautiful tea set that ? me. Small cookies come accompany. Oh, they have cake from Exquise Patisserie too, but i didn't taste because of my bad cough.
Overall, tea time at Tea et al was a lovely experience for my eyes! (and my tongue of course ?)
