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.
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.
The blend of four teas really does make a difference — the Keemun gives it a depth that’s perfect for afternoon sipping. I brewed a pot for friends last weekend and everyone asked what it was before I even mentioned the Plaza. It’s become my go-to for a calm, elegant cup.
