This morning I started off with a flowery Li Shan oolong tea alongside some decorative touches on my cha xi. The mood is infectious and soon there will be meat, sweets and lots of booze. As a healthier alternative, you could consider brewing a pot of your favourite raw pu'er that pairs nicely with those decadent foods. Raw pu'er infusions are generally quite intense on a floral note which seems to be very much in line with our festive theme ;-) Tuesday, December 24, 2013
Let the feasting begin

I had some old raw puerh after some 'decadent foods' (salmon with wasabi mixed in whip cream and goose liver with organic Zind Humbold Gewurztraminer white wine). I wouldn't say it's a good pairing, but it does balance well the rich aspects of these foods with the tea. It restores harmony in the stomach and in the mind.
