Tea & Coffee
IT is a leaf that originated amidst the mighty Himalayas.now, tea is second only to water and one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world.
Some of the world's finest leaves come from Darjeeling known to produce the champagne of teas, followed by China famed for their variety and specialty types. With perfect assimilation of soil, rainfall and sunshine, these regions present the world with their favourite morning cup of tea.
At Gourmet Station, we are proud to present our discernible tea drinkers with an exceptional and exhaustive range of tea, pre-packaged, loose and hot to go - white, green, oolong or black.
Some of our prominent teas are the Darjeeling Chamong subtle for its peachy flavour, the extraordinary Darjeeling Jungpana, the fragrant Sencha from Japan and many more from the world's finest suppliers of tea.
.For a peanut-size bean that virtually provides a nutrition-less beverage, coffee stirs up the world! It is the most popular hot drink alongside its healthier companion, the tea. The 'bean broth' of centuries ago has today morphed into a drink comprising a blissful medley of appetising choices.
Would you prefer the automatic drip or the French press? Ground or whole bean? Fiery or frosty? Regular or Cappuccino? Espresso, mocha, latte or macchiato? Confounding as the choices can be, coffee brings people, conversations and laughter together.
To get a 'steaming' choice of what to drink, get yourself to the Gourmet Station for a grand array of coffee from a selection of 16 types, including Indian Monsoon Malabar and Yemen Al Mocca and even our personalized Gourmet Station Jumeirah Jane blend.
