Cuore di Mandorla and roasted Dong Ding Oolong
The Sencha isn’t a hit with all Cuore di Mandorla. Just had some friends over so I needed a tea to pair all different cookies. The intense roasted Dong Ding Oolong is a good friend! 8 grams of tea in my gaiwan, after a good rinse, infusions of 30-35-40-45-50-60 seconds. Great way to start the weekend.
Gerechten: Banket, Tussendoortjes en Vegetarisch
Thee: Oolong
