Sumatran chocolate and China Feng Huang Mi Lan Xiang OolongBought some great @krakakoa Sumatran chocolate at Simon Lèvelt. Paired it with a heavily roasted China Feng Huang Mi Lan Xiang Oolong.

Nougat and Da Hong Pao OolongDuring my visit to Simon Lèvelt I bought this combination: a fruity nougat and a Da Hong Pao Oolong.
