Watch the Tea and Truffles Pairing with Samovar and Bay Area chocolatier Charles Chocolates. Jesse, founder of Samovar, and Chuck Siegal, founder of Charles Chocolates, discuss entrepreneurship, premium chocolate and teas, and what makes food and beverage companies like theirs unique.
After watching creamy ganaches being paired with honey-like, tropical Phoenix Oolong, or matcha truffles specially made for the event, it will make you reach for your teacup–and the chocolate stash!
If you don’t have time to watch the whole thing, see the highlights in this 10 minute edited version:
Or, you can also read the transcription of the event here!
I learned that you have to brew your tea for a minimum of 2 minutes. That’s not what I saw in the video. How come?
In the video we were using the traditional chinese method of using a higher leaf to water ratio. You can read up on the process here http://shop.samovarlife.com/Duck_Eggshell_Porcelain_Guywan_Set_p/1002dueg.htm
This was the perfect video to watch while wrapping holiday presents. Can’t wait to get my truffles and macha.
