Luxury in a Cup: TWG Tea Opens Its First Saudi Boutique in Riyadh

TWG Tea, the luxury Singaporean tea house, has officially opened its first flagship Salon & Boutique in Saudi Arabia at Solitaire Mall, steeping the city further into its already renowned café culture. Known for its unique and craftful flavours, the tea house is equipped with shelves lined with tea tins, fresh pastries, and grand windows that make the Salon & Boutique a place designed to spend hours in.

Even if you don’t have the time to linger and sip, the shop has something for even the busiest of tea lovers. TWG Tea’s Takeaway Tea concept is “designed for life on the move” but executed with the same care as the dine-in experience. With precise brewing and infusion techniques, each Takeaway Tea is served in cups inspired by the iconic teapots and a reusable glass straw.

The store is the fifth in the region, with other flagships in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Kuwait. Here, you can try global staples, like French Earl Grey and the iconic 1837 Black Tea, as well as flavours rooted in the rich history of tea in the region, featuring blends like Moroccan Mint Tea or Moroccan Sahara Tea. Add to that curated accessories, tea-infused food, and a range of pâtisseries, the Salon & Boutique creates a world around you that goes far beyond what is inside the cup.

“Our flagship reflects our belief that tea is a timeless expression of culture - one that brings together local traditions and a global appreciation for excellence", says Taha Bouqdib, Co-Founder of TWG Tea. The understanding of tea as more of a cultural inheritance than a beverage is what defines the brand. Every culture, country, and region has a unique and intimate relationship and history with this drink, each reflecting a certain aspect of their history and community. In Riyadh, a city defined by its ability to blend together heritage and modernity, this mindset is especially resonant. The Salon & Boutique is a curated experience, creating space for people to meet, connect, and appreciate a drink rich with history in a modern setting.

Already beloved in cities from Paris to Tokyo, TWG Tea’s arrival in Riyadh feels natural. Rooted in history and craftsmanship, the luxurious and modern storefront bridges tradition with modernity. From slow sipping to a quick on-the-go cup, there is something for everyone at the new Salon & Boutique.
