Earl Grey Lemon Tea at Din Tai Fung

When someone talks about Din Tai Fung everyone will be thinking of their Xiao Long Bao. And I believe there are many who have written about Din Tai Fung, particularly how friendly and well trained the staff are. I will not repeat all this today even though I had a very good dining experience.

I will share what impressed me today, their Earl Grey Lemon Tea. I love Earl Grey Tea, but this one really stands out from many that I have had before. Normally, when we dine at Din Tai Fung, we will just have the Chinese tea served.  Today when we are there hubby comment they have Iced Earl Grey Lemon Tea, and I love Earl Grey Tea. (Earl Grey Tea in Chinese restaurant?)

 It was served like any other iced lemon tea, in a tall glass with lemon slices.

After a few slips, I just fall in love with it. It was refreshing, being not too sweet, nor bitter, and had a fragrant Earl Grey finish. The light fragrant just flow inside the mouth nicely.  It was also a nice touch for them to use a single globe of frozen tea ice cube, instead of plain water ice cube which would have watered down the perfect balance of flavours.

It was like a nice ice blended tea at the end. A good drink to have on a hot day.

 

Good food, great service…  And my new favourite Earl Grey Lemon tea! Thank you Din Tai Fung for another great dining experience.
