Cruising since 3 Posted January 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Searched and couldn't find an answer - does anyone know what brand of tea is served on board and if anything different is offered in suites? HAL suites has Harney's, which is a favorite. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubechick Posted January 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Suites on the Gem have Lavazza machines which make cappuccino and espresso with pods. They also have tea pods. You could request tea bags from your butler though...not sure of the brands...they have a good variety... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted January 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Same tea bags in suites and other places onboard, mostly Lipton etc. Can't remember either the brand of tea pods for the Lavazza machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJLVW Posted January 3, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 3, 2014 If I remember correctly the tea pods are a lemon tea and they were pre sweetened. The tea bags they will get for you have been lipton tea. They do have a good variety of tea bags. You will just need the hot water..From memory..chamamille, darjeen, english breakfast, peppermint, orange pekoe, and I think a few others. That was what I remember. You may be able to get another type of tea as a specialty. Not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising since 3 Posted January 3, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks so much for your responses - I will just bring some of my own. I'm not completely familiar with the Lavaza machines - can you make just hot water with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddles99 Posted January 3, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 3, 2014 You can request Black and Green tea pods for the Lavazza machine and I think its their own brand. They looked like this: For me, they weren't strong enough as I like to let my tea steep longer so I just bring along my own tea bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russianmom Posted January 4, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Last time we were on Jewel the butler brought my husband Earl Grey pods. I'm trying to remember the brand or see if I have a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
