Rare Tea

Celebrated and award winning Chocolatier Paul A young and I have been collaborating for some time now. We’ve spent hours and weeks and months of wonderful, revelatory and utterly delicious exploration pairing tea and chocolates. The chocolates he has created use tea as a subtle and delicious ingredient rather than trying to make a tea taste. Paul understands flavour like few people on the planet and to eat one of his chocolates is an intense joy.

Finally we are offering tea and chocolate hampers on the website and you can also pick them up at one of Paul’s shops.

On a wet and miserable Tuesday in June we had the most splendid evening at Paul A. Young’s chocolate shop in Islington. Over the past few months, Paul and I have been working together on producing tea chocolates and bars, and this evening saw the launch of our White Silver Tip tea chocolate. We plied members of the press and bloggers with cocoa nib infused gin and jasmine tea cocktails, before introducing our wonderful collaboration.

Paul is a true chocolate genius and created a chocolate that got the most out of our beautiful, delicate silver tip. He used a water based ganache so as not to overpower the tea, and a similarly light flavoured, smooth chocolate, so they complemented each other perfectly. Over the next few months we will be creating more tea chocolates, and you’ll be able to buy our chocolate and tea gift sets very soon from our website.
