Thyme for tea?
Make time for stillness. Spend the day bathing in Alba’s restorative geothermal springs, then relax with high tea at Thyme. Available on the last Sunday of the month, Thyme’s high tea serves up an array of delicious treats.
Choose from savoury bites such as Blini with crème fraiche, trout gravlax, and caviar; Brioche toast, chicken liver parfait with mirin jelly; and Sichuan pepper roasted chicken, chive and avocado ribbon sandwiches. Sweet treats include Madeleines with yuzu curd custard; Blondie cream with roasted white chocolate and ginger glacé; and Profiterole with Chantilly cream, pandan jelly, and strawberries.
Enjoy your high tea with an Alba Springs cocktail made with Heartbreak Pinot Noir Gin, limoncello, Chambord and lemon. Or choose from a range of herbal teas.
You’ll leave nourished and replenished with an Alba herbal tea gift.
