This session will begin with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of pairing tea with food, focusing on how different flavors, textures, and aromas can harmonize on the palate. Participants will then embark on a guided tasting experience, sampling a curated selection of teas and cheeses. Through this hands-on session, attendees will not only discover new insights about tea but also learn how to create compelling and complementary pairings.
Furthermore, Fabiola will provide practical advice on organizing similar tea and cheese events in your own business.
