TWG Tea pushes out a series of icy treats to fight the heat and humidity of Malaysia.

As Malaysians, we often find ourselves in a love-hate relationship with our tropical weather. We do love the sun when holidaying by the coast, but when we're back in the city. we often find ourselves hiding from the heat at the nearest cafe and malls.

Now, to help with our combat against heat in the city, TWG Tea has launched a series of tea-infused ice creams and sorbets, which includes flavours like Singapore Breakfast, Pomme Prestige and Vanilla Bourbon. 

We managed to get our hands on these tasty delights and here's the three flavours we can't get enough of.

 


Vanilla Bourbon Tea Ice Cream

Using rich red tea from TWG Tea's extensive collection as the base note to create a sweet template, the Vanilla Bourbon Tea has a light airy flavour that permeates the palate as you savour the ice cream.

Paired with smooth and rich vanilla bean flavours, the ice cream has a thick woody aroma that reminds us of a well-aged bourbon whiskey (minus the alcoholic content). This particular ice cream makes the perfect partner to a hearty and warm dessert, like apple and rhubarb pies and warm rich chocolate brownies.


Singapore Breakfast Tea Ice Cream

Another ice cream that stands out in the collection is the Singapore Breakfast Tea flavour. Made by blending rich spices with green and black tea, the ice cream mildly reminds us of a warm cup of Chai latte (except it's in ice cream form).

On the first bite, we experience warm and earthy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, followed by a complex sweet lingering taste that envelops the palate as you continue on. For us, this particular concoction will be great with a few pieces of almond biscotti or wafer cookies.


Silver Moon Tea Sorbet

If you like to have some zest in your ice cream, then the Silver Moon sorbet is perfect for you. Using green tea leaves as the base, the sorbet has a bittersweet element that we find rather refreshing on our palate.

By infusing a touch of wild berry into the mix, the icy sorbet has a tangy aftertaste that makes you crave for more after each bite – perfect for those who want a refreshing dessert without the milky texture of conventional ice cream.
