I had the pleasure of attending a pairing event sponsored by Felicitea and The Secret Chocolatier (2/4/10). I was an awesome experience b/c never did I EVER imagine to pair 2 things I love so much: tea and chocolate!!
We were greeted by both owners who set up a quaint display table with several teas and their counterpart chocolate. Both ladies gave us a brief bio of themselves and then how they paired the tea and chocolate (as follows):
1. Green tea and white chocolate: I forgot the actual name of the green tea, but the pairing was light and delicate. Very refreshing to the palate.
2. Mint tea and dark chocolate w/ ganache filling: Very tasty! I think I snuck a few extra pieces of the choclate, but the combo was decadent! Almost luxurious...
3. Kaitlen's Orange Spice tea and Enrobed brownie bite: MY FAVORITE PAIRING!! Oh, I don't know WHAT that brownie was enrobed with, but it was addictive, delicious, and fabulous! Plus, the spice tea was really sexy with the chocolate...there was a party in my tummy (so yummy, so yummy)!
I'll definitely have to check out the massage, but for now, I'm content to sip my orange spice tea (had to have it)!!
