Sushi and Japan HoujichaMy lunch today. Sushi and Japan Houjicha. Nothing fancy, just a teabag but a great combination.
Mussels and Taiwan DayulingMussels take 2. Mussels and China Tai Ping Hou Kui were a good combination. Today we paired them with a Taiwan Dayuling spring harvest. Maybe an even better combination. 110 ml of boiling water, 8 grams of tea and a 30-30-50-60-70 second steep
Coquilles and China An Ji Bai ChaCoquilles and a China An Ji Bai Cha. Normally I pair the coquilles with a Japanese green tea but this is also a great combination! 8 grams on 110 ml. 70 centigrade water. Sweet and savoury aroma’s enhanced in the coquille, roasted aroma’s in the green tea.
