THE RUBENS TEA, ST JAMES ESTATE, UVA,
CEYLON
St James estate was founded by pioneer British
planters during the plantation raj in Ceylon. The
tea is hand-picked during the height of the Uva
“flavoury” season and uniquely crafted for The
Rubens at the Palace. The tea is strong and
aromatic with a strong bouquet of the classic
natural wintergreen flavour.
SOUCHONG
A tea which flourishes at sea level and is gently
smoked over cinnamon wood, furnishing it with
a fragrant smoked note. The finish in this cup is
a whisper of spicy sweetness and splendour.
PLANTERS’ BREAKFAST
Strong and full bodied. Before English breakfast,
early tea planters enjoyed the full bodied
flavours of Planters’ Breakfast in Ceylon. The
perfect conditions for creating that rich full taste
are found in the Dimbula Valley. This is where
the award-winning Planters’ Breakfast is
handpicked.
PLANTERS’ AFTERNOON
The traditional afternoon tea of cakes and
sandwiches is best taken with a bright and
fragrant tea. The award-winning afternoon tea is
handpicked on the rolling hills of Ceylon’s Uva
region. Ideal on its own or with a splash of milk.
PLANTERS’ EARL GREY
The most aristocratic of teas is infused with the
unmistakable aroma of bergamot. To balance the
citrus, you need a bold tea. The Earl Grey is
handpicked and infused with a drop of natural
bergamot oil.
CHAI CINNAMON
This is the ideal drink to warm up your
afternoon. The marriage of quality tea grown at
high altitude and indigenous Ceylon spices
produces an exceptional piquancy.
GREEN TEA
JASMINE GREEN
Delicate jasmine blossoms, meticulously layered
amidst tender green tea leaves, offering a
delightful aroma that transports you to a serene
garden in bloom. Floral elegance and crisp green
notes, leaving a lingering sensation of tranquillity
and refreshment on your palate.
HERBAL TEA
ROOIBOS
Unique to the Western Cape of South Africa this
is a bright orange infusion that is rich in Vitamin
C, Iron & Magnesium.
PEPPERMINT LEAVES
A cherished herbal tea that has been used for
centuries to aid digestion and leaves a fresh
minty tang.
LEMONGRASS & GINGER
Aromatic and refreshing the fusion of fresh,
zesty lemongrass with spicy, sweet ginger
produces an uplifting herbal concoction.
APPLE CINNAMON
Artful blend of black tea, apple pieces, hibiscus,
marigold, liquorice and Ceylon cinnamon gives
your cuppa a fruity and spicy twist.
