La Fromagerie? Or I could bring a couple of personal favourites over to the Westbridge one night?

lovely evening. Thank you.
The teas I s...Charlie,<br />lovely evening. Thank you.<br /><br />The teas I served (next time I demand a trolley) were:<br /><br /> my Whole Leaf Green Tea which is hand-fired over a wok to capture the soft vegetal notes of the undamaged leaf with a clean, bright finish. I was most gratified by the number of people who had previously not been keen on green tea but changed their mind on their first taste of the good stuff. This particular tea works brilliantly as a palate cleanser for white wines. I thought it went particularly well with the Riesling.<br /><br />The second tea was my oolong. A glorious epicurean tea which lies artfully between a green and black tea. It is only partly oxidised by a great master to reveal myriad flavours. It has a really floral nose, soft apricots and a dry, flinty finish. This can compliment any wine but has the strength of character to stand beside the boldest red.<br /><br />I'll be doing tea and wine tastings in the wine tent at Taste of London- please do come.Henrietta Lovellhttp://www.rareteacompany.comnoreply@blogger.com
