Nothing is more thrilling and glamorous than sneaking away for a sumptuous afternoon tea with loved ones at TWG Tea. The made-in-Singapore luxury tea brand known for its extensive selection of exclusive handcrafted tea blends, TWG Tea is pulling out all the stops this Christmas with decadent delights revolving around its limited edition Forever Noel Tea from the Grand Mode Tea Collection.
A sparkling house-brewed green tea blended with a festival of flavours and warm winter spices, Forever Noel Tea ($48/100g) infuses into an aromatic cup with soft lingering notes of hibiscus, cinnamon, clove buds and orange peel that will bring warmth to heart and home this holiday season. Encased in a luxurious shade of emerald and gold, reminiscent of a Nobilis fir Christmas tree, the collectible tea tin is adorned with sleigh bells and mistletoe to celebrate this season of merriment.
Tea-infused sweets
To complete the TWG Tea experience, enjoy your special tea blend with complementing Forever Noel Tea-infused sweets such as Forever Noel Tea & Raspberry Chocolate Bonbons (from $15 for a box of 6). Indulge in a dark chocolate bonbon with a tangy ganache of raspberry purée infused with Forever Noel Tea, delicately crafted by hand and sprinkled with raspberry crumble.
If you love the brand’s legendary macarons, you must try the Forever Noel Tea Macarons (from $15 for a box of 6) washed in a merry red shade. The sweets are handcrafted with a Forever Noel Tea-infused apricot ganache delicately filled between crisp almond shells sprinkled with gold feuilletine bits.

Even the irresistible Blueberry Cheesecake Yule Log Cake is tea-infused. A modern twist on the classic blueberry cheesecake, this one is layered with light vanilla cheese, mascarpone mousse, blueberry confit and a buttery biscuit base infused with Forever Noel Tea, topped with gold flakes and fresh blueberries. With so much texture and contrasting flavours, every bite is a true delight on the palate.
If you are a sucker for tradition, we also recommend the classic Black Forest Yule Log. It’s layered with chocolate sponge cake, chocolate cream, cherry confit and Festive Night Tea-infused mascarpone Chantilly cream, topped with gold flakes and Kirsch liqueur-soaked wild cherries. TWG Tea Log Cakes start from $12.50 (good for one) to $78 (serves eight).

Yuletide feast
If you’re thinking of ordering a hot meal, do try the TWG Tea Festive Set Menu ($59 for a main course and tea). Meat lovers will enjoy the juicy Angus Filet Mignon Rossini served with seared foie gras and aromatic truffle sauce infused with Imperial Pu-Erh. It is accompanied by sautéed winter vegetable ragout and a molten Mont d’Or potato cake.
If you have space for something sweet, you can choose the $75 set which includes classic vanilla parfait for dessert. Topped with a refreshing orange sorbet and a Forever Noel Tea-infused tuile, this delightful dessert is served with a mélange of citrus caviar, grapefruit, mandarin orange, and a finishing touch of lime zest.
Both sets include an aromatic cup of Forever Noel Tea. The elegant green tea with notes of warm spices really complements the rich flavours of the steak dish. For an additional $15, you can also savour TWG Tea’s exclusive mocktail blend made of Christmas Lights Tea, pineapple juice and peach purée.
