...Once there, go upstairs to your room for an 80-min. couples' aromatherapy massage and later enjoy a candlelit evening turndown with flowers, champagne, finger food and chocolates. If you want to leave your upgraded room, the hotel will pack a gourmet picnic basket, or you can have afternoon tea at the hotel. Feel free to lounge, with a late 6 p.m. checkout. $920 per night.

...tree-hugging, bird-spotting visits to the Mai Po Marshes, no afternoons in the loft studios of Fo Tan artists and an embargo on sipping ristrettos in Elgin Street bars. Instead, Noble House Hong Kong is all about the old-school icons: go to Victoria Peak, have tea at the Peninsula hotel, get invited to someone's box at the Happy Valley races.

Travel only by limousine, yacht...

About 100 objects, including kettles, bamboo tea scoops and ceramic tea bowls are on display through April 26. 1111 Chapel Street, at York Street, New Haven...

The countless drink stands that line Taiwanese streets flood the thirsty soul with endless variations of bubble teas, a.k.a. hot or cold teas with chewy tapioca balls and tropical juice blends. One popular combo, green tea with passion fruit, tapioca pearls and chewy coconut cubes, helps explain why 85°C's next coffee innovations will use panna cotta and fresh fruit...
