Marco Polo Hotels has just unveiled its signature iced tea that will give its hotel guests another way to stay cool during the sweltering hot summer days. In Marco Polo Davao, friends from the media were able to sample the new Marco Polo's
The modern
take on a traditional recipe was first created at the annual Chief Business
Managers Conference earlier this year at Marco Polo Changzhou, where each
General Manager from every Marco Polo and Niccolo hotel assembled to discuss
new and innovative ways to drive more business to their respective property. This year, the hotels competed in an iced
tea-making competition to determine who could make the most unique and
refreshing iced tea concoction. Marco
Polo Xiamen introduced the Earl Grape Iced Tea, citing the integration of East
with the West as one of the influences behind the drink’s creation, and
eventually secured the coveted award.
The amount
of care and detail that goes into creating each Earl Grape Iced Tea drink can
only be surpassed by its taste. Two
types of ice cubes are included in the drink: elderflower syrup is mixed with pure
water to create one type of the ice cubes, while pure water that has been
steeped with loose earl grey tea leaves form the second type. Meanwhile, freshly steeped earl grey tea is
left to sit overnight in a refrigerator to allow for the many flavors to combine and fuse. Seedless green grapes are then rinsed and placed
slightly squashed at the base of the glass.
After adding the infused elderflower and earl grey ice cubes, the
concentrated earl grey tea is poured over the grapes and ice cubes to complete
the thirst-quenching drink hailed by many as the perfect summer refreshment.
Every Earl
Grape Iced Tea comes with a freshly baked lokum or Turkish delight. The sugar-based confection is the perfect
accompaniment to the Earl Grape Iced Tea, as it helps to accentuate the various flavors resulting from the beverage.
