SIMPSONS Tea is to be stocked in one of the largest hotels in China.
The Galaxy Macau, which opened in 2011 and has 2,200 rooms and suites, is taking a number of the teas produced by the Edinburgh business.
It produces distinctive flavours such as gingerbread green tea along with provocatively named batches such as Hitchcock Blonde and Blueberry Boudoir.
Founder Anna Louise Simpson has also struck an agreement with Marriott Hotel & Country Clubs to create a seasonal range for its 11 properties around the UK.
The summer blend includes jasmine blossoms and freeze dried slices of strawberry with the autumn tea having a caramel and sea salt flavour.
In winter it will be orange and cinnamon with the spring tea flavoured with peach and rose petals.
Katie Ramsay, from Marriott UK, said: "A good cup of tea is a quintessentially British tradition, but we wanted to go one step further and offer our guests a truly unique take on this staple."
"We are delighted to be working alongside Simpsons Tea, a British company with a fantastic reputation for creating wonderfully different tasting teas."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
