    Festive Set Dinner for the Winter Holiday at TWG Tea Canada

    Published: Dec 18, 2018 · Modified: May 8, 2021 by Mimi · This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    The holiday season is well underway and I have been enjoying all the usual preparations leading up to the big day, things like: buying and wrapping presents, putting up the Christmas tree and holiday baking. After long days of preparations, I usually like to take mid-day break and have a cup of tea with a sweet treat. Most recently, I received a tin of the new Haute Couture tea from TWG Tea Canada to add to my collection. I had been enjoying the caramel-y black tea with cream in the afternoons with the treats I baked for friends and family. I love tea time and really appreciate the quality of TWG teas so I was happy to be invited to sample their new Holiday tea collection and their new Festive Set Menu for the winter season. 
    A beautiful dinner event begins with this gorgeous and festive table setting.
    Winter tea collection at TWG Tea Canada. Right: The "Joy of Christmas" tea is a black tea that smells sweet and a bit tart. It's quite refreshing. Left: "It's So Good" tea is a black tea and the only tea in the TWG collection with lychee. I can't even begin to describe how lovely it is. It has a delicate sweet scent which reminds me of a premium fragrance candle or perfume. The "Night of Noel" tea has a warm rich scent that reminds me of evergreen trees. It's blended with wild forest berries, caramel and nutty silver needles. The set of 2 retails for $99.80 cnd.

    In addition to their signature afternoon tea service, TWG also offers à la carte lunch and dinner options. For this winter holiday season, they also offering a special Festive Set Menu for dinner (shown below). It's a great choice if you're looking for something special to do with friends and family during the winter holiday.

    The main course of foie gras and New Zealand lamb loin was perfectly prepared at medium rare and came with an appetizing cranberry coulis. This was my second experience with the dinner service at TWG and the food has truly exceeded my expectations once again. 

    Main course in the festive set menu: Foie gras escalope and New Zealand lamb loin drizzled with a lamb jus accompanied by a potato and chestnut pancake served with White Christmas Tea infused mustard seed pickles, cranberries coulis and silted chayote leaves.

    For dessert, there was a choice of either chestnut sponge mini log cake or hazlenut mini log cake. I really enjoyed both of them but the hazlenut really stood out to me for because I love mascarpone, it has a super creamy flavour and texture.

    Left: Chestnut sponge layered with strawberry confit and Night of Noel Tea infused Bavarian cream mini log cake glazed with chocolate and topped with gold leaf and a whole chestnut. Right: Sacher chocolate and hazlenut dacquoise mini log cake filled with Night of Noel Tea infused cremeux, praline ganache and mascarpone mousse, topped with mini vanilla cremeux choux puffs.
    Christmas Jewel Tea Macarons infused with the namesake tea.

    I enjoyed a festive night at Vancouver's TWG Tea Salon trying their new holiday dinner set and I think you will too. If you don't have a chance to sit down for a meal, you can also consider bringing home or gifting a box of their tea infused macarons or one of their many teas in its own beautiful collector's tin. 

    Happy Holidays! Until our next tea date!

    XOXO, Mimi
