The goal of the workshop is to explore the potential of pairing tea with food and discover how tea and chocolate complement each other. The course features a selection of various types of loose-leaf tea and chocolate. Pairings may be based on the products’ geographical origins or on specific flavors and aromas, focusing on contrasts or fruity and floral notes.
Workshop duration: 2–3 hours
Unlike teas such as green tea, the leaves are not strained in matcha; instead, you drink the powder dissolved in water. This makes the tea particularly nutritious and unique. In this workshop, you’ll discover the origins, properties, and history of this beverage. Then, with all the necessary equipment at your disposal, you’ll prepare and taste matcha tea according to the traditional ceremony.
Duration: 2 to 3 hours
The goal of the blind tea tasting workshop is to sample various types of tea in order to refine your palate and sense of smell and recognize the distinctive characteristics of loose-leaf tea. The activity revolves around a game: identifying a secret tea. By tasting three teas—without knowing their names, origins, or characteristics—and letting your senses be your only guide, you’ll be able to form your own hypothesis as you try to decipher the nuances of flavor and aroma.
