Honest Tea blends star at the launch of Johnnie Walker Platinum

Honest Tea was official tea blender at the Johnnie  Walker Platinum Label launch last night.

In the penthouse of the uber-stylish Diamante hotel in King's Cross, Sydney, Christine and I took VIP guests through the art of tea blending, paying particular attention to the lovely parallels between peaty scotch malts and the smokiness of our Lapsang Souchong.

We also introduced a lot of green tea drinkers to the delights of Darjeeling.

Johnnie Walker was the first brand to blend different whiskies to give drinkers a better experience.  Platinum is super-premium (the range goes like this:  Red, Black, Green, Gold, Platinum, Blue).

Over at Urban Society we're even described here as the bomb:
"SMELL was explored as guests learned JW whisky-making skills from 1820 under the guidance of bespoke tea blenders. Turns out tea blenders are the bomb"


Did you hear that, everybody - we're the BOMB!  I can honestly say I never thought I'd read that....

Hey - you can juuust see us in the background here - thanks to Chic Traveller for the pic. 

Can you see the cocktail shakers?  We let guests describe their preferences and then shook up a tea blend just for them.

Sven and his team at Behind Bars did an incredible job, as always.

When more pics arrive I'll post them for you to see.
