    The New Harvest Afternoon Tea Set at TWG Tea in Vancouver

    Published: Nov 12, 2018 by Mimi · This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    TWG's New Fall Themed Afternoon Tea Set

    This weekend I was invited by TWG Tea to sample the new Harvest Afternoon tea set created to celebrate the Fall season. It's another option for a Fall themed tea experience completely different from the one I shared with you a month ago at Trump Hotel Vancouver. That tea set, called the "School of Magic Tea Set", is inspired by the Harry Potter franchise and features treats that are reminiscent of some of the magical objects and themes found in the popular children's book. It's the perfect Fall tea set for those who love the Harry Potter franchise and families with children. In contrast, the new Harvest Afternoon Tea Set at TWG is a great choice for those who prefer a more sophisticated theme and food selection - seared fois gras, escargot croquette and salmon gravlax are all on the menu.  

    Every piece is infused with TWG teas. Top Tier: Pistachio and cherry choux puff, tarte tartin, citrus cake with a sparkly glaze, TWG tea infused macaron, Mon Amour Tea panna cotta. Middle Tier: Salmon gravlax, seared fois gras, butternut squash soup. Bottom tier: Escargot croquette and wild mushroom tart.

    The Ultimate Place for the Tea Connoisseur

    I also had the opportunity to try several new teas and that is always a highlight of tea time at TWG Tea. I remember the last time I visited, the server told me that they had more than 300 different teas to choose from and on this visit, I was pleasantly surprised to hear that the selection has grown to over 500! This is the afternoon tea spot for the tea connoisseur. The tea selection is not only wide but deep. A different grade of the same type of tea with a different quality and price point is not uncommon which makes them one of the few places in the city with the ability to serve a pot of tea with a 3 digit price tag. But don't let that scare you. They have plenty of more approachable "everyday" teas to choose from as well (and most tea sets already include a pot of tea.)

    This is the new Haute Couture Tea. It's a black tea that smells warm and sweet like caramel and pairs wonderfully with cream. The TWG tea salon has a boutique section where you can purchase their teas in these beautiful collector tins. You can also take their macarons away in their signature yellow gift boxes to enjoy at home or as gifts.

    The Harvest Tea Set will be available until early December and will then be replaced with the new Christmas set menus. (I got a sneak peak at the Noel tea collection and it looks so festive. 'm so excited about the holiday season!) I really enjoyed the opportunity to visit TWG again to experience their fine teas, exquisite tea infused foods and macarons, and their top notch service. Until our next tea date. 

    XOXO,

    Disclosure: All food and drinks were complimentary. All opinions expressed are my own. 

    This is the West Coast Tea Set which offers different food selections each season.
    The tea salon is also equipped to sell cakes by the slice or as a whole. Whole cakes make great birthday or celebration cakes. This one is the Mango Geisha Blossom cake and it consists of a mousse infused with Geisha Blossom Tea layered with mango passionfruit gelee with mango chunks and almond sponge. It is so creamy and delicious! 8 inch cakes are $78 and 10 inches are $92.
