BEST PLACES TO DRINK TEA IN THE WORLD

LONDON, ENGLAND

With such a strong history and culture associated with drinking tea our journey begins in London, UK, where we recommend trying the best tea there is at one of the highest rated hotels in the world: The Ritz.

The hotel offers a variety of flavors but our choice with be a traditional English tea, that should be enjoyed while overseeing the amazing London.

Aided by the weather you should have the most memorable English tea in the world.

PARAGUAY, URUGUAY & ARGENTINA

In South America we don’t call it tea, we call in Mate or Chimarrao which is the traditional infused drink. Mate is served with a metal straw, called bombilla, from a shared hollow calabash gourd.

The legend says that the Goddesses of the Moon and the Cloud offered the guarani people this new “Plant of Friendship” after they saved her from a jaguar.

 

TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILWAY, RUSSIA/CENTRAL ASIA

When looking for the trip of your lifetime the Moscow to Beijing Trans-Siberian Railway should definitely be on the list. Because it takes more than 6 days to complete the travel gives you a great opportunity to bond with existing friends or make new ones in your carriage.

In order to get over the Siberian chill every car has a samovar, from which you can get hot water.

Although you bring your own tea to the ride so do many others, so you get the chance to exchange a try as many varieties as people are in the train: a lot!

 

 

YUEYANG, CHINA

For those of you the love yellow tea we’re presenting: Junshan Yinzhen which is a treasured yellow tea that grows in Junshan of Dongting Lake in Yueyang, Hunan.

With a rich and strong aroma it is a must on our list.

SAHARA DESERT

From China we’re moving in the middle of the Sahara Desert where the Nomad Berbers will treat you with what will seem at that time the treat of the gods.

Prepared in the hot sand of the Sahara Desert this is an experience you wouldn’t want to miss!

UJI, JAPAN

From the black tea of the desert we finally reach the frontier of green tea and Uji is home of the most amazing green tea you’ll ever get to experience in your life.

The area perfected the art of green tea and transformed it into a true experience.

INCA TRAIL, PERU

For our last place we decided to put your body to work a little following the Inca Trails in Peru. Once your at the top, the true work begins, a local can show you where to find fresh and strong herbs that you’ll use to prepare the freshest tea in your journey.

Enjoy it while you look at this scenery!

All this talk about tea made me want one  so while I go and make myself some green tea. Hopefully some of you will get to enjoy a luxurious cup of tea in one of these amazing places!
