Singapore Airlines to serve luxury tea

Singapore Airlines has announced that it will boost its inflight offering this year by providing a selection of gourmet teas to its first and business class passengers.

The range of international, Asian and Chinese tea blends, which the airline will begin serving on July 1st, will be provided by luxury Singapore brand TWG Tea.

Each selection of teas offered to passengers will be designed to reflect the route, with flights to China offering a wider range of Chinese teas.

Singapore Airlines also offers its first and business class customers a range of gourmet coffees, champagnes and wines.

Betty Wong, the airline's vice-president of inflight services, said: "Our collaboration with TWG Tea began as Singapore Airlines recognised the increasingly sophisticated palates of our customers.

"As a well-established tea company with blends of exceptional quality and diversity, TWG Tea is perfectly suited to meet the wide-ranging tastes of our customers."

Singapore Airlines will also be offering new network services to travellers this year when it deploys the Airbus A380 on its route from Singapore to Hong Kong and launches new flights to Manila in the Philippines.
