Tea & Chocolate - a Guided Tasting
When tea meets chocolate, the palate becomes a playground of contrast and resonance. Join us for an expert-led tasting where each pairing unveils the hidden logic of flavour — from delicate harmony to unexpected friction.
Program Overview
There are moments when a sip of tea and a piece of chocolate meet — and something entirely new is born.
We invite you to discover that magic at Okuma. Together with a professional chocolate taster, we’ll dive into a world of flavour, exploring the dynamics between carefully selected teas and artisan chocolates. We’ll uncover why certain notes merge into perfect harmony — and why others push back against each other.
What we'll explore
Flavours & Aromas – How do we recognise the hidden tones?
Origin & Character – How does terroir (the growing environment) shape both the cacao bean and the tea leaf?
The Logic of Pairing – What’s the secret behind a truly harmonious match?
A little teaser:
During the evening, among other things, we’ll discover what happens when a vibrant Japanese sencha — full of oceanic, fresh notes — meets a silky white chocolate with a hint of raspberry. The rest of the pairings remain deliciously shrouded in mystery…
What to bring: Curiosity and an open mind.
The details.
