Chocolate and Tea with Postcard Teas

About the talk

Join us to taste and explore the relationship between tea and chocolate in this 45 minute talk with Tim D’Offay and Spencer Hyman. Many people think of wine or coffee as a pairing for chocolate and overlook tea – join us to find out how fine tea and fine cacao pair beautifully together.

About Tim D’Offay

Tim D’Offay from Postcard Teas is one of the UK’s fine tea experts. Over 30 years ago while living in Kyoto, Tim became fascinated by tea culture and the tea growing areas around the city. He soon started to explore the tea traditions of Taiwan, Korea, and Hong Kong as well. These experiences led him to start importing tea in the late 1990s. Tim has written three books on tea and we are delighted to host him for this talk with Spencer Hyman, to discuss tea and chocolate.
