Tea & Pre-dinner snacks/starters pairings
When enjoying pre-dinner snacks or starters, adding tea can provide an original, subtle touch. Most importantly, it hydrates and awakens the taste buds. Below, you'll find some suggestions for pairings to suit all tastes.
Pairings
Pre-dinner snack
Have you prepared fois gras slices for the pre-dinner snack? Opt for a tone-on-tone pairing with a Grand Yunnan Imperial with its wild and honeyed notes, or a subtle, woody Yunnan d’Or. For a fusion pairing, the best option is Dong Ding, a Taiwanese Oolong with buttery and vanilla notes, which provides a sweet taste. For fans of caviar, Japanese first flush green tea Grands Crus offer an umami taste.
Pairings
Pre-dinner starter
Have you made a green vegetable velouté for starters? We recommend pairing it with a mildly oxidised Taiwanese Oolong such as a Bao Zhong Impérial. As for highly oxidised Oolong teas such as Bai Hao Oolong, these contrast perfectly with the aromas of a vegetable pie or a quiche lorraine. If you have prepared a mushroom stir fry, this would go perfectly with a Pu Erh, a dark tea with a highly complementary woodland bouquet. If you're enjoying raw shellfish or shellfish in raviolis, your best option would be a roasted green tea such as the Bancha Hojicha for a smooth or roasted pairing such as the Shiraore Kuki Hojicha in order to create a contrast.
