4 The Drawing Room at Flemings Mayfair Hotel echoes elegance and grace in homage to the hotel s 18th century origins. The refined Indian-inspired tea room welcomes guests and visitors to enjoy light refreshments and beverages all day or to imbibe wine and champagne at its small bar. The Drawing Room is also a perfect setting for a genteel afternoon tea. Working in partnership with The East India Tea Company, guests may choose from a selection of different traditional and exotic teas including a signature Flemings blend. The room s heritage is complemented by exquisite hand-painted wall panels by famous de Gournay depicting early views of India and The Tree of Life by upcoming intuitive painter Eileen Schaer. Bookcases on either side of the fireplace display a fascinating collection of art books from Assouline for guests to enjoy and peruse.

5 Granted a Royal Charter by Queen Elizabeth I in 1600, The East India Company was founded to explore the mysteries of the East. It discovered exotic goods, established the cities of Singapore, Hong Kong and Mumbai, impacting customs, tastes and ways of thinking - influencing the very fabric of our lives today. The first teas brought by the Company arrived in London in the 1660 s. In 1664, the Directors presented it as a gift to King Charles II and his Queen, Catherine of Braganza, taking the court and fashionable society by storm. Today, we are proud to offer the very best of the best in tea - to delight, intrigue, inspire, surprise and refresh authentic Earl Greys and muscatel Darjeelings, Spicy Chai and Floral Jasmines, along with herbal infusions, green teas, white teas and more.

7 Signature Black Tea Blend crafted exclusively for Flemings It includes a base of robust Assam tea recalling the year 1851 when the Flemings Mayfair Hotel was founded - it was around this time that tea from the Assam region in India was growing in popularity amongst British society. The East India Company was instrumental in introducing Assam tea to the West and by the turn of the century Assam became the leading tea producing region in the world. The Flemings Breakfast Blend The best breakfast teas balance aroma, colour and body in equal measure. It combines teas selected from the misty hills of Ceylon, the lush estates of Assam and the Kenyan Highlands. Robust and deep while retaining character, a perfect to start the day. Ideally enjoyed with milk. 2

8 Speciality Single Estate Black Tea Darjeeling First Flush From the Himalayan foothills. This first harvest tea of the spring captures muscatel characteristics light, bright, floral and delicate with earthy, grassy notes. This particular First Flush is one of the finest teas from the region - a connoisseur s delight. Flavoured Black Tea The Staunton Earl Grey Using an authentic recipe, first described by The East India Company officer George Staunton in the 1700 s in China, this tea blends the finest Neroli and Bergamot oils to create a distinct and different Earl Grey. With an exceptional aroma and flavour profile that is light, sweet, floral and delicate, this tea produces a perfect cup for anytime of the day. Generally enjoyed black, or with a spot of milk. Lapsang Souchon A famously smoky tea, deep with aroma and flavour. This black tea from the Fujian province of China is dried over smoking pine fire, imparting a sweet, rich smoky flavour to the tea. Bombay Chai A warming blend of fine black tea with natural Cinnamon, Cloves, Pepper and Cardamom. Charles II licensed the islands of Bombaia to The East India, creating one of the most multi-cultural cities in the world. This Chai, based on a family recipe, reflects this vibrancy. Best enjoyed with milk and sugar. 3

9 Green Tea Dragonwell Lung Ching From the Chinese village of Dragonwell (Lung Chingin local parlance), this tea has a distinguished broad and flat shape, a result of being laboriously hand-dried in a wok. On brewing, this tea produces a refreshingly smooth, sweet and delicate character, amongst the very best of Chinese teas. Flavoured Green Tea Jasmine Pearls Jasmine pearls are hand made from handpicked lu-cha green tea leaves. The leaves are scented with Jasmine Blossoms before being hand rolled into little silver pearls that unfold to release a delicate and soothing jasmine scent. In China this tea is said to be excellent for the complexion as well as aiding digestion and slowing the aging process. Oolong Tea Lis-han Oolong Taiwan s most celebrated high-grown oolong teas. Its buttery, almost creamy character makes it an extremely refreshing and satisfying tea to enjoy at any time of day. White Tea Nepal Spring White White peony leaves are carefully picked during the spring when sunshine is at its best and the tea fields of Nepal s Himalayan foothills shine like green silver. These leaves, natural partially dried, emit an extraordinary sweet grassy vegetal aroma. 4
