Guide to Tea and Cheeses Pairing Fine Teas and Cheeses presented by JAS-eTea © 2015 JAS-eTea. All rights reserved. Get Your Cheese on at Tea Time! One of the similarities between wine and tea is that, with a bit of trial and error and some tips from your friends and folks like us, you can pair them very well with cheeses. And, just like with wine, how you pair tea and cheese can be a true art. That’s why we wanted to present some pairing recommendations – both our own and ones that tea connoisseurs (also known as sommeliers and aficionados) have presented. Who knows, you may be inspired to invite over friends and family for a tea and cheese tasting party! A Natural Combo Cheese and wine are a natural combination. In some people’s minds, they go together like apple pie and ice cream, hot dogs and baseball games, or even SUVs and Soccer Moms. Beer is getting more into the act, too, which isn’t surprising with all the microbreweries around. And home brewing is on the up- swing, from what I have seen online. Lately, though, cheese is becom- ing a bigger part of tea time with pairings becoming the rage. Some pros are so successful at pairing teas and cheeses properly that they are being sought after by restaurants and party givers. Get ready to go exploring the wonderful world of tea and cheese pairings! Pairing Fine Teas and Cheeses presented by JAS-eTea © 2015 JAS-eTea. All rights reserved.

All rights reserved. Pairing Basics You don’t have to be a pro, or even hire one, to put your own pairings together. There are some basics to keep in mind, and you can do your own experiments. Firmness/Texture A big factors is cheese firmness (texture). If you prefer spreadable, runny, or soft cheeses, your tea choices are different than with firm-to-hard cheeses. For example, soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert both go well with Dragonwell, and crumbly hard feta goes with Assam. If your taste goes more to firm-to-hard cheeses such as cheddar or Edam, some tea options are Autumn Darjeeling, Tung Ting Oolong, Keemun, Chun Mee, a black Ceylon, and White Peony (Pai Mu Tan, Baimudan). However, Sencha can mellow out a sharp hunk of Manchego. Flavor and Aroma Flavor strength is another consideration. Limburger is truly odiferous, so you need a stronger flavored tea to go with it such as the rich smokiness of Lapsang Souchong. Milder cheeses like Asiago need a more delicate tea taste like you get in Kukicha or Sencha. Tea/Cheese Pairing Setup Line up your teas, labeled with their names, along one side of the table. Line up your cheeses along the other side, with little labels proudly declaring “Stilton,” “Parmesan,” “Havarti,” “Feta,” etc. Be sure the cheeses are room temperature so their true flavors come out. The teas should be served at the temperature that is suitable for them. For example, Assams are great served fairly hot while Oolongs and greens can be more flavorful when they have cooled slightly.

White Teas White Peony (also known as Pai Mu Tan or Baimudan) …with Buffalo Mozzarella A mildly salty cheese and a tea with a delicate nectarine flavor combine to give you a subtle and smooth pairing. …with goat cheese and honey The honey in the goat cheese brought out some really nice honeysuckle nectar-like notes in the White Peony. …with any of these: Goat’s Milk Cheese: Chevre (Fr.), Feta (Gr.)

About White Peony Tea White Peony (Baimudan, Paimu- tan) has a plucking standard of one bud and a leaf. It is considered the 2nd grade of white teas, after Silver Needle which is all buds. White Peony ranges from top, to middle, to low quality rating. All have good flavors and the better ones produce a lovely yellow col- ored liquid when steeped.

They graze on the La Man- cha plains (and there is no one tilting at wind- mills there, just quietly tending their flocks and making delicious cheese. This cheese originated when Iberi- an civilization was still in a relatively primitive Bronze Age. The sheep’s milk gives Manchego cheese a nuanced taste and connects you back through thousands of years to ancient Iberian shepherds!

Mao Feng (Fur Peak) Young Tips Green Tea … and Triple Cream Brie This tea has a distinctly creamy aroma followed by a light grassy flavor. The cheese is soft white and creamy, making the pairing quite dramatic. The fresh leaves for making Mao Feng tea need to be tender, clean, and neat. It is a high quality tea which looks beautiful and smells pleasant. The straight and somewhat twisted leaves are blackish green, having an aroma resembling fried dry beans mixed with refreshing but faint flower fragrance. Its liquor is bright yellow-green and has mellow, immediate sweet mouthfeel followed by an aftertaste that lingers. About Triple Cream Brie A cheese that is delicious, slightly sweet and has a creamy texture. It goes with well not only with this tea but also with delicate fruits such as strawberries as a dessert cheese (often a tradition in many European countries). Both double and triple-crème cheeses have extra cream added before the curd is formed. According to French law, a double-crème cheese has 60-75% butterfat, and triple-crème cheeses are required to have a butterfat content of 75% or more. Triple-crème cheeses made an appearance roughly 75 years after the first double cream called Petit Suisse (1850). They are sold under names like Brillat-Savarin, Gratte Paille, Pierre Robert, and Délice de Bourgogne. Pairing Fine Teas and Cheeses presented by JAS-eTea © 2015 JAS-eTea. All rights reserved.

    molecules Article Identification of Similar Chinese Congou Black Teas Using an Electronic Tongue Combined with Pattern Recognition Danyi Huang , Zhuang Bian, Qinli Qiu, Yinmao Wang, Dongmei Fan and Xiaochang Wang * Tea Research Institute, Zhejiang University, # 866 Yuhangtang Road, Hangzhou 310058, China; [email protected] (D.H.); [email protected] (Z.B.); [email protected] (Q.Q.); [email protected] (Y.W.); [email protected] (D.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-0571-8898-2380 Received: 8 November 2019; Accepted: 6 December 2019; Published: 12 December 2019 Abstract: It is very difficult for humans to distinguish between two kinds of black tea obtained with similar processing technology. In this paper, an electronic tongue was used to discriminate samples of seven different grades of two types of Chinese Congou black tea. The type of black tea was identified by principal component analysis and discriminant analysis. The latter showed better results. The samples of the two types of black tea distributed on the two sides of the region graph were obtained from discriminant analysis, according to tea type. For grade discrimination, we determined grade prediction models for each tea type by partial least-squares analysis; the coefficients of determination of the prediction models were both above 0.95. Discriminant analysis separated each sample in region graph depending on its grade and displayed a classification accuracy of 98.20% by cross-validation. The back-propagation neural network showed that the grade prediction accuracy for all samples was 95.00%. Discriminant analysis could successfully distinguish tea types and grades. As a complement, the models of the biochemical components of tea and electronic tongue by support vector machine showed good prediction results.

    China Keemun Panda Loose Leaf Tea English Tea Store • Cup Characteristics: A winey and fruity tea with depth and complexity. Takes milk very well • Infusion: Bright tending reddish • Ingredients: Black tea • Caffeine/Antioxidant Level: Medium/Medium • Grade(s): Panda Grade #1 • Manufacture Type(s):Special Keemun Orthodox • Region: Anhui Province • Growing Altitudes: 1500-4900 feet above sea level • Shipping Port(s): Shanghai Brewing Instructions Hot Tea Brewing Method: Use freshly drawn water. When water is re-boiled, or stands for a while, it loses oxygen which prevents the full flavor of the tea being released. Warm the pot first. This helps the brewing process by maintaining the brewing temperature for longer so to extract more flavor from the tea. Be sure to use boiling water to make the tea. Water which is "off the boil" does not allow the tea to brew properly. Ideal brewing temperature is 100° C/212° F. Minimum brewing temperature is 90° C/194° F. Brew for 3-5 minutes. Shorter times will not reveal the full flavor and the quality of the tea. Longer brewing will result in a bitter tasting tea as Tannin will start to be extracted from the tea leaves (If you brew in a cup brew for a much shorter time, 1 - 2 minutes). Stir the tea in the pot once or twice while it is brewing. Iced tea brewing method (Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea, 6 tea bags into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1.25 cups/315ml over the tea.

  • Multisensory Flavour Perception: Blending, Mixing, Fusion, and Pairing Within and Between the Senses
    foods Review Multisensory Flavour Perception: Blending, Mixing, Fusion, and Pairing within and between the Senses Charles Spence Crossmodal Research Laboratory, Oxford University, Oxford OX2 6GG, UK; [email protected] Received: 28 February 2020; Accepted: 21 March 2020; Published: 1 April 2020 Abstract: This review summarizes the various outcomes that may occur when two or more elements are paired in the context of flavour perception. In the first part, I review the literature concerning what happens when flavours, ingredients, and/or culinary techniques are deliberately combined in a dish, drink, or food product. Sometimes the result is fusion but, if one is not careful, the result can equally well be confusion instead. In fact, blending, mixing, fusion, and flavour pairing all provide relevant examples of how the elements in a carefully-crafted multi-element tasting experience may be combined. While the aim is sometimes to obscure the relative contributions of the various elements to the mix (as in the case of blending), at other times, consumers/tasters are explicitly encouraged to contemplate/perceive the nature of the relationship between the contributing elements instead (e.g., as in the case of flavour pairing). There has been a noticeable surge in both popular and commercial interest in fusion foods and flavour pairing in recent years, and various of the ‘rules’ that have been put forward to help explain the successful combination of the elements in such food and/or beverage experiences are discussed. In the second part of the review, I examine the pairing of flavour stimuli with music/soundscapes, in the emerging field of ‘sonic seasoning’.

  • Some Tips About Drinking Tea
    Some tips about drinking tea (Zhu Li) Tea is the most popular drink in the world. Tea itself is the balance of Yin and Yang. First of all, how to categorize tea? Tea can be grouped into Yin Tea and Yang Tea. Yin Tea includes white tea, dark tea and yellow tea. Yang Tea includes green tea, black tea and qing (blue) tea. So, in total there are 6 categories of tea, 3 kinds of Yin Tea and 3 kinds of Yang Tea. Secondly, how to prepare tea? The preparation of tea follows the Yin Yang balance rule. When preparing the Yin Tea, we use the ‘Yang’ way, boiling is the easiest and best way. Comparatively, when preparing the Yang Tea, we need to choose the ‘Yin’ way, and never boil any Yang Tea, otherwise it may cause potential health problems. Boiling the Yang Tea will produce anthraquinone in green tea, cyanogenic glycosides in qing tea, and acrylamide in black tea, and all these chemical components may cause cancer in long run. So, using the clay pot to prepare black tea will not only helps us to get best taste but also a cup of healthy tea. As to Qing tea, it’s easy to use French press to prepare it. Grand Yang tea, green tea needs a special treat, which is to drop the 1 boiled water into the cup with green tea leaves. By doing this way, the green tea will taste fresh and have sweet ending. Thirdly, when to drink tea? The time consideration of tea drinking actually is related with the best time of acupuncture method, which is called ‘Zi Wu Liu Zhu’ in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
