Singapore Airlines serving 'gourmet tea'
23 June 2009

Singapore Airlines has announced that it will begin serving a range of international, Asian and Chinese varieties of tea to its first and business class passengers.

From 1 July, the airline will serve beverages created by the luxury Singaporean brand TWG Tea.

The selection available will reflect Singapore Airlines' different routes, with flights to China, for instance, offering a wider range of Chinese teas.

Singapore Airlines already offers a selection of gourmet coffees, champagnes and wines in its onboard suites.

Betty Wong, the carrier's vice-president of inflight services, said: 'Our collaboration with TWG Tea began as Singapore Airlines recognised the increasingly sophisticated palates of our customers.

'As a well-established tea company with blends of exceptional quality and diversity, TWG Tea is perfectly suited to meet the wide-ranging tastes of our customers.'

Singapore Airlines will be extending the range of services it offers travellers this year when it launches new flights to Manila in the Philippines and begins flying the Airbus A380 from Singapore to Hong Kong.
