Nougat and Da Hong Pao Oolong
During my visit to Simon Lèvelt I bought this combination: a fruity nougat and a Da Hong Pao Oolong. Nougat made the tea very fruity, tea reduces the sweetness of the nougat and enhanced the nutty tones. 8 grams of tea in my gaiwan (they sell great ones at their shops), 110 ml of 90 degrees Celsius water and steeping times of 25-20-25-30-35-40-45 seconds.
Gerechten: Banket en Tussendoortjes
Thee: Oolong
Thee is een perfecte match bij veel gerechten. En als je het goed aanpakt dan geeft het serveren van thee bij de maaltijd een hele mooie ervaring. Zowel thuis als bij een exclusief meergangendiner in een restaurant. In vijf dagen leren we je hoe je thee selecteert, zet en presenteert bij je gerechten.
