Experience India's white tea

From Sept. 27, the last Thursday of each month will be "White Tea Experience" day at the 45th-floor lobby lounge of the Ritz-Carlton Tokyo in the Midtown complex in Tokyo.

Starting with a glass of Laurent Perrier Rose, you can experience an exclusive afternoon tea sourced from Margaret's Hope Tea Garden.

Margaret's Hope is located in Kurseong Valley in the Darjeeling region of northeast India, where some of the world's great teas are produced. The big and fluffy buds called silver tips, which are used to make white tea, can only be picked once a year in the final stages of the harvesting season in the early summer, making them extremely rare. The white tea at the Ritz-Carlton has been specially selected for the event and has a characteristic mellowness and gentle, flowery aroma.
