My Cup of Tea... Ice Cream!

From my previous blog entry about buffet indulgence, let's now have a tea talk. I can't think of any other place that offers a wide range of teas from different parts of the world as TWG. We had a chance to experience a relaxing time at its Conrad Hotel branch located in the Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City.

What's TWG, you may ask. It's unknown to many but TWG's website reveals that it stands for The Wellness Group. But does it really matter? Let's go straight to the wholesome goodness that we had in this cozy tea salon.

We were lucky that during our visit, macarons were at 50% off. It used to be 60 pesos each. They have flavors like Napoleon Tea & Caramel (my favorite), Matcha, Camelot Tea & Praline, Earl Grey Fortune & Chocolate, Vanilla Bourbon Tea & Kaya, and Grand Wedding Tea, Passion Fruit & Coconut. But note that those are what's on the menu, and that the ones below are not in any particular order nor exactly match all the flavors I just mentioned.

The most affordable drink options here are at 195 pesos for a teapot, so we chose a black tea from Brazil.

Finally, the three of us sampled their ice cream flavors which are at 120 pesos each. Relatively affordable with these generous servings, right? Napoleon Tea Ice Cream features black tea with caramelized macadamia nuts:

Next, for dad, Singapore Breakfast Tea Ice Cream is a blend of green tea, black tea, vanilla and spices:

Finally, for mom, Vanilla Bourbon Tea Ice Cream is red tea blended with aromatic vanilla bean:
