This experience can be savoured with a variety of Good and Proper loose-leaf teas such as Lemon Verbena, White Peony, Jasmine Pearl, and 2nd Flush Darjeeling. Guests can further elevate their tea with a glass of Nyetimber Sparkling or Laurent Perrier Champagne, or choose the exclusive new cocktail called ‘Bicentenary Blush’ made with Woodford Reserve Whiskey, Disaronno, lemon juice, Better’s Bitters, sugar, and Angostura Bitter.
