The Drawing Room at Flemings Mayfair Hotel
echoes elegance and grace in homage to the hotel’s
18th century origins.
The refined Indian-inspired tea room welcomes guests and
visitors to enjoy light refreshments and beverages all day or to
imbibe wine and champagne at its small bar. The Drawing Room
is also a perfect setting for a genteel afternoon tea. Working in
partnership with The East India Tea Company, guests may choose
from a selection of different traditional and exotic teas including a
signature Flemings blend.
The room’s heritage is complemented by exquisite hand-painted
wall panels by famous de Gournay depicting early views of India
and ‘The Tree of Life’ by upcoming intuitive painter Eileen
Schaer. Bookcases on either side of the fireplace display a
fascinating collection of art books from Assouline for guests to
enjoy and peruse.
Granted a Royal Charter by Queen Elizabeth I in
1600, The East India Company was founded to
explore the mysteries of the East.
It discovered exotic goods, established the cities of Singapore,
Hong Kong and Mumbai, impacting customs, tastes and ways of
thinking - influencing the very fabric of our lives today.
The first teas brought by the Company arrived in London in the
1660’s. In 1664, the Directors presented it as a gift to King
Charles II and his Queen, Catherine of Braganza, taking the court
and fashionable society by storm.
Today, we are proud to offer the very best of the best in tea - to
delight, intrigue, inspire, surprise and refresh –
authentic Earl Greys and muscatel Darjeelings, Spicy Chai and
Floral Jasmines, along with herbal infusions, green teas,
white teas and more.

Signature Black Tea Blend
crafted exclusively for Flemings
It includes a base of robust Assam tea recalling the year 1851
when the Flemings Mayfair Hotel was founded - it was around
this time that tea from the Assam region in India was growing in
popularity amongst British society.
The East India Company was instrumental in introducing Assam
tea to the West and by the turn of the century Assam became the
leading tea producing region in the world.
The Flemings Breakfast Blend
The best breakfast teas balance aroma, colour and body in equal measure. It combines
teas selected from the misty hills of Ceylon, the lush estates of Assam and the Kenyan
Highlands. Robust and deep while retaining character, a perfect to start the day.
Ideally enjoyed with milk.

Speciality Single Estate Black Tea Darjeeling First Flush
From the Himalayan foothills. This first harvest tea of the spring captures muscatel
characteristics light, bright, floral and delicate with earthy, grassy notes. This particular
First Flush is one of the finest teas from the region - a connoisseur’s delight.
Flavoured Black Tea The Staunton Earl Grey
Using an authentic recipe, first described by The East India Company officer George
Staunton in the 1700’s in China, this tea blends the finest Neroli and Bergamot oils to
create a distinct and different Earl Grey. With an exceptional aroma and flavour profile
that is light, sweet, floral and delicate, this tea produces a perfect cup for anytime of the
day. Generally enjoyed black, or with a spot of milk.
Lapsang Souchon
A famously smoky tea, deep with aroma and flavour. This black tea from the Fujian
province of China is dried over smoking pine fire, imparting a sweet, rich smoky
flavour to the tea.
Bombay Chai
A warming blend of fine black tea with natural Cinnamon, Cloves, Pepper and
Cardamom. Charles II licensed the islands of ‘Bombaia’ to The East India, creating one
of the most multi-cultural cities in the world. This Chai, based on a family recipe,
reflects this vibrancy.
Best enjoyed with milk and sugar.

Green Tea Dragonwell Lung Ching
From the Chinese village of Dragonwell (Lung Chingin local parlance), this tea has a
distinguished broad and flat shape, a result of being laboriously hand-dried in a wok. On
brewing, this tea produces a refreshingly smooth, sweet and delicate character, amongst
the very best of Chinese teas.
Flavoured Green Tea Jasmine Pearls
Jasmine pearls are hand made from handpicked lu-cha green tea leaves. The leaves are
scented with Jasmine Blossoms before being hand rolled into little silver pearls that
unfold to release a delicate and soothing jasmine scent. In China this tea is said to be
excellent for the complexion as well as aiding digestion and slowing the aging process.
Oolong Tea Lis-han Oolong
Taiwan’s most celebrated high-grown oolong teas. Its buttery, almost creamy character
makes it an extremely refreshing and satisfying tea to enjoy at any time of day.
White Tea Nepal Spring White
White peony leaves are carefully picked during the spring when sunshine is at its best
and the tea fields of Nepal’s Himalayan foothills shine like green silver. These leaves,
natural partially dried, emit an extraordinary sweet grassy vegetal aroma.
