Twelve Days of Christmas Afternoon Tea at the InterContinental London Park Lane
It’s no secret. I’m a big fan of the fine foodie offerings InterContinental London Park Lane. With Executive Chef Paul Bates calling the palate pleasing shots (not to mention chef Theo Randall doing his own tasty thing with onsite upscale Italian restaurant), I’ve never never even come close to having a less than ideal dining experience here. So an invitation to try the hotel’s limited edition Christmas afternoon tea was one I greedily accepting. This was my second time to enjoy an afternoon tea at the InterContinental and it did not disappoint. If anything, my expectations for a high level of quality and service were exceeded.

I Beg Your Pardon? Twinings Has Introduced a Rose Garden?
That’s right. Initially only sold as part of the Twinings Limited Edition range due to popular demand Rose Garden black tea is now permanently available. That’s good news if you’re like me and love the flavour of rose. But don’t take my word alone for it, this tea was one of four Twinings teas to win a 2012 Great Taste Award. Add this to an already fantastic selection that includes eye opening green tea, refreshing redbush and plenty more and it becomes apparent there’s a lot more to Twinings than just elegant Earl Greys and robust English Breakfast teas.
