Center court for New York's tea world is the newly re-launched Palm Court at The Plaza Hotel. Palm Court, our classic blend of four teas (Keemun, Assam, Ceylon, and Formosa Oolong), is the beverage of choice in that impressively grand setting. Prepare and enjoy a cup at home, and imagine yourself relaxing in that splendid palace on Fifth Avenue.
I brewed this for an afternoon tea moment and the Keemun really carries it—deep and smooth, with the Assam adding just enough backbone. The Formosa Oolong keeps it from feeling heavy, which I didn't expect from a four-tea blend. It's become my go-to when I want something refined without fussing over
The four-tea blend hits that perfect middle ground between brisk and smooth, and it steeps beautifully whether I’m having a quick cup or taking my time with a full pot. The Formosa Oolong adds a subtle sweetness that keeps me coming back for another pour.
The Keemun gives it a nice smoky backbone while the Ceylon keeps things bright, and I’ve been brewing it every afternoon since the tin arrived. It’s the kind of tea that makes you slow down, even if you’re just at your kitchen table instead of the Plaza.
