Blissful tea time with their famous apple pie and tea

I was served a set of Christie's famous apple pie and tea. First of all, the apple pie is a crispy pie crust filled with moist stewed apples, and each bite is softly fragrant with the aroma of cinnamon. The sweetness and tartness of the apples are perfectly balanced, giving the pie a gentle, nostalgic flavor.

The tea is selected from Sri Lanka and served in a generous pot, allowing you to enjoy a relaxing and fragrant tea time. The tea and apple pie are a perfect match, providing a pleasant moment.
