New Delhi, Sep 10: As New Delhi prepares to welcome global leaders and delegates for the 18th BRICS Summit, the capital’s luxury hospitality ecosystem is gearing up to offer an elevated experience to an international audience. Adding to this hospitality experience, Newby Teas, the luxury tea house known for its focus on fine tea and the art of tea appreciation, will be showcased and served to BRICS delegates at Taj Mahal, New Delhi, from September 11 to 13.
India is hosting the 18th BRICS Summit on September 12–13, 2026, at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, as part of its BRICS Chairship. The high-profile gathering is expected to bring together leaders and senior representatives from BRICS member and partner countries, placing New Delhi firmly in the global spotlight.
Against this backdrop, the role of luxury hospitality extends beyond accommodation and dining, with hotels and hospitality partners curating experiences that reflect India’s distinctive approach to welcoming the world. From culinary experiences to beverages and service rituals, the finer details of hospitality become an important part of the experience for international guests.
Newby Teas’ presence at Taj Mahal, New Delhi, brings the age-old ritual of tea into this contemporary luxury setting. With tea being deeply woven into India’s cultural fabric, the experience offers an opportunity to present tea not simply as a beverage, but as an expression of craft, provenance, presentation, and hospitality.
The association also highlights the growing significance of premium food and beverage experiences within luxury hospitality. At a gathering of global significance such as BRICS, seemingly understated details, from what is served to how it is presented, contribute to creating a memorable and considered guest experience.
For Newby Teas, the occasion provides an opportunity to introduce its philosophy of fine tea to an international audience while becoming part of a landmark moment for New Delhi’s hospitality landscape.
As the capital prepares to host one of the year’s most significant international gatherings, the spotlight is not only on the formal proceedings but also on the many layers of hospitality through which India welcomes the world, with the art of tea forming one refined element of that experience.
