Leela’s lobby lounge has some of the widest selection of teas I’ve ever seen. They have a beautiful variety ranging from Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Sri Lankan to Indian tea. They serve a Gyokuro Tea, which is a rich type of green tea grown in the shade in Japan and has a sweet, smooth taste.
Price: approx INR 700
Lastly, a cup of tea I really enjoy and miss is Hot Buttered Apple Tea at Tea Centre. Here, they actually place apple slices in the tea which leaves a great flavour behind. Tea Centre is temporarily closed for renovation, but when it’s back, I recommend going back to the charming place and having this tea.
