This program is designed to impress even the most discerning guest, yet operations are very staff friendly. Your staff or guest member prepares a personal loose leaf experience for a single serve cup.
Barista Service 'raises the bar' in the cafe setting to parallel that of specialty coffee beverages. This si the perfect way to add sizzle and value to individual servings of tea that would otherwise fall prey to an ordinary tea bag.
Self Serve presentations are perfect in Spa Relaxation ares. The display exudes hospitality and health along with indulgence and luxuray. Guests appreciate the quality of loose tea as part of the total spa allure, and enjoy the sensory pleasure of a 'hands on' experience. Definitely a step up from the kitchen pantry!
Barista style calls for a Barista, or beverage to prepare the individual loose leaf tea bag on behalf of the guest. In a Self-Serve Style, teas are arranged in a 'buffet' format that invites your guest to create an individual or self-serve 'tea bag'.
Tea sacks are the preferred infusion solutions. They are easy to use, and disposable. With equal poise in both fine china and paper cup, they combine the luxury of a loose tea with the convenience of a tea bag. The recipe is easy . . . use one teaspoon per cup, and steep 3 to 5 minutes. Our "pictorial instruction" guides your guest.
Use glass canisters so that the quality and beauty of the blends are visible. We provide signage on the canisters to indicate the name of the blend and ingredients. Provide a long handled spoon for each blend offered. We have several options available.
White Lion Loose Teas are packaged in attractive and convenient 1 lb plastic canister for 'back of the house; or 'back bar' use in restaurant or spa.
We offer the same selection of fine teas uniquely packages in a rich 4 oz glass canister, perfect for gift or as a personal treat. Charming 1 oz jars are used as "display" to tempt and engage your guest in the luxury of a loose leaf tea experience. the irresistible little jars are also packaged in retail sets or gift format to further delight your guest. They can be tamper sealed for use as an exclusive in room amenity, mini bar item, or promotional item.
