NEW BRITISH AIRWAYS
AND TWININGS
TEA BLEND NOW
ON BOARD
British Airways and Twinings are
promising to transform tea in the air with
an innovative new blend of the nation’s
favourite drink, specically designed to
work at altitude.
The British Airways signature blend
tea took to the skies on 1 February for
customers in all cabins.
The new tea is a blend of Assam, Kenyan
and high grown Ceylon tea: a classic
combination giving body, strength, avour
and colour. A bias towards the Assam
produces a well-rounded, full-bodied
blend, while the Kenyan gives it strength
and lift and the Ceylon adds avour.
