The Gryphon Gourmet Tea Experience At Tasek Brasserie Radisson Hotel

Follow @janshim

If at first glance you thought you’re looking at a shisha or hookah appliance, you’re not alone. On the morning I stepped into Tasek Brasserie restaurant at Radisson Hotel to recce the location, I made the very same mistake — I just laughed it off upon realizing it’s an appliance for a broader, more conservative brew — premium tea.

Dedicated to all tea lovers in Brunei Darussalam and all over the world.

Tasek Brasserie provides a comfortable atmosphere to sniff a selection of 12 loose tea leaves samples.

Fancy a pot of gourmet tea during or right after a hearty meal, select from a variety of premium tea leaves from Pink Rose Buds to Pomegranate Ruby (to name a couple), add hot water, sit back and relax.
