Tea gastronomy
Pan fry a few tea leaves and use it as a garnish. Extract its flavour for au jus (a light gravy), marinade or cuvée. Celebratory chefs are using tea to create culinary magic. The emulsifying properties of tea, meaning its ability to cleanse the palate, is being used by chefs to pair unusual fine dining combinations. The complexity of tea results in enchanting the taste buds with surprising bursts of flavours.
The multitude of flavours tea offers complements a variety of food. Whether you have a typical savoury meal or a sweet slice of chocolate cake, there is a tea to suit your meal.
A lifestyle beverage
The characters of tea are defined by nature. A tea may have floral hints created by the unique geography of the estate. It might have a slight lychee tang or chocolaty note that is a result of dry weather. Thus, your tea cup tells a story of a time and place. You are tasting a specific moment in time.
Tea is a brew that changes with the era. Its sophistication is timeless...
