The Tea Republic has recently launched nine exciting new tea flavours to join its current menu of more than 50 different types of tea blends and creations. Brewing fine cups of tea since late 2010, the tea lounge lies comfortably tucked in an almost-hidden corner on the second floor of Bangsar Shopping Centre.
Our rainy morning was warmed up with a tea-tasting session to sample the latest additions of tea blends:
Sapphire Grey: This traditional Earl Grey black tea is given an interesting twist with the addition of blue cornflowers and bergamot oil
White Diamond: This delicate white tea is subtly infused with rose petals and jasmine tea from China's Fujian Province
Ceylon Breakfast: From Sri Lanka's Uva region, this Broken Orange Pekoe black tea yields a strong, flavourful copper blend
Emerald Mint: Savour the refreshing flavour and arom of spearmint in this Chinese gunpowder green tea blend
Formosa's Finest: This exquisite oolong tea, with its semi-fermented leaves from northern Taiwan, yields a soothing amber infusion
Inner Peace: This harmonious theine-free blend features chamomile, lavender and peppermint, offering calmness in a cup
Coral Sunset: The playful blend of flavours results in this sweet-scented cup of rose-tinged tea. Ingredients include peach essence, apple, mango, papaya, hibiscus and sunflower petals
Imperial Bliss: Strong notes of lemongrass and ginger lace this Pu-erh tea from China's Yunan Province, making for a great cleansing choice
Ruby Red: our favourite of the whole lot! This South African rooibos tea carries a delicious caramel-vanilla undertone
A terribly tempting tower of tea
Each 2.5g pyramid contains one silken infuser, which needs only to be steeped in hot water. You can opt to purchase each pyramid individually (RM8 each) or you can also opt for the Gift Box (9 pyramids) for RM45 per box. They have rather interesting holiday-inspired designs to choose from, including Christmas, Chinese New Year, Aidilfitri, Diwali, and Merdeka.
The "Raya" gift box, made up of Imperial Bliss, Emerald Mint and Inner Peace
"Prosperitea" gift box, made up of Ruby Red, Formosa's Finest and White Diamond
For those who prefer purchasing loose tea leaves, their 50g packs are available at RM35
The teas were all the more enjoyable, paired with sweet treats as moist red velvet cupcakes, sesame macaroons and decadent mint-chocolate tarts
Despite us being true coffee addicts, we had a wonderful time reconnecting with the wonderful world of tea and are currently contemplating brewing a cup of Ruby Red
