It will warm us if we are cool, it will cool us if we are too heated and it will cheer us if we are depressed. Such are the wonders of the amazing tea…
We were at KL Hilton to experience Tea Tales around the World on a fine Saturday afternoon. Ronnefeldt, one of my favourite tea label is featuring some of the most beautiful teas from around the world such as Korean Flower, Taiwan Ti Dung, Nepal Jun Chiyabari, Japan Sencha Kiyomizu and Green Chinese Spring.
I love the golden tin packaging, and the patterns/graphics represent that particular tea producing country.
It was an afternoon of pure indulgence, with decadent savoury selections, homemade cakes and pastry paired with beautiful teas from around the world.
I like how some of the cakes and pastries were infused with Ronnefeldt Tea, giving it a unique taste and aroma.
Earl Grey smoked salmon on charcoal bread
We manage to try a few varieties of tea such as the Taiwan Ti Dung (an elegant oolong tea with nutty fragrant), Rooibos Chocolate Truffle (non-caffeinated tea with a nice chocolate aroma), Korean Flower that comes from the fertile soil of volcanic island of Jeju and Assam Blend, one of the strongest in the Ronnefeldt’s Tea Couture with a spicy and malty with fine texture.
Cinnamon Berliner and Rooibos Chocolate Truffle
Egg Masala Chai Muffin
We kept going back for the scones with jam and clotted cream. They were so fluffy and light.
Classic Caesar
Mushroom vol-au-vent
The savoury selections were pretty good too, especially the mushroom vol-au-vent. Love the flaky, buttery pastries with earthy mushrooms fillings.
