Tea & Chocolate Pairing
+ Pricing
$69CAD (14 Piece)
Including 2 pure teas
~ 75 minutes
In my opinion, there is no better companion to fine chocolate than fine tea. This tasting we will enjoy a range of fine chocolate along with two fine looseleaf teas (such as white, green, oolong, pu-erh, fermented, black). These teas are unflavoured, which means the beautiful aromas come from the tea leaves themselves not from other ingredients or extracts added.
The goal of this tasting is to enjoy the chocolates and how they interact with the teas. We will also discuss the underappreciated nuances of unflavoured chocolate and tea and how profound the flavours themselves can be due to processing.
Kit Includes: 6 types of fine chocolate in duplicate (12 samples total), two fine teas (let me know when you book if you have a preference), informative handout, simple preparation instructions, virtual session info. Guests are required to have hot water to prepare tea.
