with Chambord black raspberry liqueur and a hit of cream, turning a

classic German dessert into a lip-smacking drink.

Magic bullet 13

hit the spot, and so does this delicious concoction. Blood orange

liqueur and Remy Martin VSOP with a grapefruit sugar rim.

Caley Summer Cup 10

A refreshing combination of Pimms and blackberry, sweetened with

just a hint of vanilla and lime. A flawless tipple whether you’re soaking

up the sun or sipping in your own Garden of Eden.

WHITE TEA

After it is plucked the bud is simply dried. This gentle treatment retains

the highest anti-oxidant level allowing soft, delicate flavour to emerge.

Because only the 1st bud is used, in leaf form white tea can be picked

for only a few weeks. To produce a kilo requires more than 30,000 buds,

ensuring white tea is highly prized.

Snow White (China)

White ‘Peony’ is the generic name for Chinese white tea. It is so named

after the peony flower that grows alongside the tea plants of Fujian. This

delicate tea is a beautiful combination of bright green leaves and soft

white buds. Refreshing and cool, snow white delivers a fragrant lingering

liqueur.

Malawi White (Malawi)

This extraordinary tea is grown on the Shire Highlands of Malawi. The

unique terroir produces huge sun-bronzed leaves with dark silver tips.

The small plantation produces this tea only in minuscule amounts.

Malawi white combines the delicacy of white peony, with notes of

caramel and smooth honeysuckle.

Tropical Tea (China)

Blended with white and green tea are pieces of mango, pineapple,

coconut and lime blossoms. Extremely fruity and vibrant.

Jasmine Silver Needle (China)

From the Da Bai Hao tea bush in Fuding, Fujian province this tea was

harvested this spring and only the first buds were chosen to be naturally

scented over many days with jasmine flowers. Light delicate, extremely

fragrant and clean.



Cherry Blossom

A newly conceived drink from our talented bartenders,

A fresh combination of Edinburgh gin and raspberry liqueur

finished with Lychee liqueur make this twist on a martini bring

images of Sakura trees in bloom.

OOLONG TEA

This tea sits between black tea and green tea. ‘Oolong’ means ‘Black

Dragon’, a reference to the natural dragon-like curve of the leaf.

Oolong teas stimulate. They increase metabolism and are often drunk

for weight reduction. Craftsmen of Oolong teas are highly-skilled. The

leaves are tossed in giant baskets until only some of the natural juices

are freed, and then roasted by hand throughout the night. This intricate

process allows incredibly diverse teas to emerge.

Formosa Oolong Finest (Taiwan)

This tea literally means ‘beautiful’. It is grown to imitate the first oolong

grown in Taiwan. This 'choicest' grade copper-red leaf delivers an

intense, pungent bouquet.

Iron Warrior Monk – Tie Luo Han (China)

These bushes are found among the rocky cliffs of the Wuyi Mountains in

Fujian, China. The name means ‘Iron Warrior Monk’ in honour of a warrior

who, according to legend, created this immensely smooth Oolong.

Though baked to produce a thick, sweet liquor, Tie Luo Han is a highly

refined Oolong. It is creamy and buttery, offering notes of honeysuckle

and caramel.

Iron Goddess of Mercy – Tie Guan Yin (China)

From Anxi county in the Fujian Province. Tie Guan Yin is incredibly light,

with the aroma of orchids and blossoms.

COCKTAILS

Razzmatazz 14

A tempting fusion of Chambord, raspberries and Absolut Vodka then

topped up with Perrier-Jouët Champagne make this drink perfect for

all the berry lovers!

Black Islay 11

Using Bunnahabhain 12 year old from Islay and combining it with

honey, fresh blackberries and a touch of lemon allows this drink to

showcase Scotland’s national drink; Whisky.

Peach French Connection 13

This pleasant peach twist on a classic French connection. Amaretto

mixing with Martell VS cognac, plenty of peach and a hit of lemon.

A warming balance between sweet and sour.

Fountain of Youth (Mixed Origin)

Ginkgo, nettle, blackberry leaves, St John’s wort, verbena, mistletoe,

whitethorn, lemongrass, willow herb, cornflower and safflower blossoms.

Not suitable for consumption during pregnancy.

Orangery (Mixed Origin)

Founded on a blend of green tea from China.

Sweet citrus notes linger from the orange peel and orange blossom.

Enjoyable hot in winter and refreshing iced in summer.

Popcorn Ginko (Japan)

Genmaicha means ‘Natural Rice’. Made from Bancha tea, with which

roasted or ‘popped’ rice grain is added. To soften the flavour of the

Genmaicha this blend contains ginko, nettle and cornflowers. Notes of

nut and caramel.



GREEN TEA

Heat is applied immediately after the leaf is plucked. This protects its

anti-oxidant properties. The process differs greatly according to the

country in which it is produced. In Japan the leaves are steamed while

in China they are wok-fired. This subtle difference produces a wide

variety of tea. Green tea protects the heart, liver and immune system

and treats arthritis.

Fog Green Tea (China)

Located high up in the mountains of the Jiangxi Province, the plant

benefits from cooler air which allows these wonderfully mellow leaves to

emerge. Fog tea is so named after the mist that envelops the plant.

Each leaf is hand-plucked. A sweet taste that is rich and captivating.

Gardenia Tea (Mixed Origin)

A Japanese green sencha tea is added to a blend of green and white

tea from China. This forms the foundation. For fruitiness we then add a

smattering of redcurrants, blackcurrants and apricot. A combination of

tea, fruit and flower that is wonderfully balanced.

Cranberry & Rose (Japan)

We complement the crisp, sour note of cranberry with pieces of

raspberry and damask rose buds

This quenching cocktail sits behind a base of Japanese green Sencha

tea. Refreshing and delicious!

Assam 2nd Flush (India) This 2nd Flush provides a rich, delicious depth of flavour as the leaf has

the strength of fruits and spices - a collision that presents a rich aroma

and a traditional Assam malty finish.

Venetian Rose (Mixed Origin) We complement the richness of black tea from China and ceylon with

the delicacy of fine rose buds. A delightful alternative to a traditional

earl grey.

Traditional Chai (India)

Warm spice mix of ginger, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, fennel and

aniseed with finest assam leaf tea. Rich and pungent.

31 Years Aged Tea (Taiwan)

Yu Chi Assam black tea was introduced to Taiwan in the early 19th

century. This is a tea from a long established family business in the hills of

Yuchi, near Sun Moon Lake. In spite of its age, this tea is very aromatic.

Fruity aromas of cherry and grenadine are prevalent. The flavour is

gently earthy with notes of root vegetable.



BLACK TEA

Once picked, the leaves are withered on a rack for up to 18 hours and

then rolled and cooled. Now darkened, the leaves are fired in an oven

to seal in the flavour. In leaf form, black tea delivers a rich variety of

flavour and aroma.

Peacock Alley Blend (Mixed Origin)

Developed for sole use at Waldorf Astoria – The Caledonian, this blend

is a secret combination of more than 10 different fine teas, fruit, spices

and herbs. The component we are prepared to reveal is the wonderful

cornflower, a modest homage to the immodest peacock!

Breakfast ‘Cuppa’ (Mixed Origin) Made from strong and rich tea leaves, this produces a full-bodied and

malty traditional cup of tea. Robust enough to take milk or cream.

Hot Breakfast (Mixed Origin)

Traditional breakfast tea with a kick. The base is only the very finest leaf

tea. To add a kick-start to the day, we carefully blended cinnamon,

ginger and liquorice.

Earl Grey 1833 (Mixed Origin) Precious black tea infused with pure bergamot oil. The distinct taste and

aroma of earl grey deserves a look to match. So we add delightful blue

and purple cornflowers to produce a visually stunning earl grey.

THE HISTORY OF AFTERNOON TEA Tea consumption increased dramatically during the early nineteenth

century and it is around this time that Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford,

is said to have complained of “having that sinking feeling” during the

late afternoon. At the time, it was usual for people to take only two

meals a day, breakfast and then dinner around eight o’clock in the

evening. The solution for the Duchess was a pot of tea and a light snack,

taken in her private rooms during the afternoon. Later, friends were

invited to join her in her rooms at Woburn Abbey and this summer

practice proved so popular that the Duchess continued it when she

returned to London, sending cards to her friends asking them to join her

for “tea and a walk in the fields.” Other social hostesses quickly picked

up on the idea and the practice became respectable enough to move

it into the drawing room. Before long, all of the fashionable society were

sipping tea and nibbling sandwiches in the middle of the afternoon.
