I chose this tea — instead of scotch — to gong fu after dinner with a luxurious piece of vanilla cake. What a perfect pairing. These little snails stood up perfectly to the sugar and fat, coming through with that bold but gorgeously smooth cocoa flavor. It took me almost an hour to eat my cake because I didn’t want to rush my tea. Just lovely… better than any scotch I could have paired, truly. Absolute joy.

Ohhhhhh. I’m having pineapple upside down cake tonight, I wonder if I should try it with? I just got my order from what-cha with this tea in it. Oh goodie!
This tea is such a gem — I honestly didn’t think it lost anything in the pairing, where others might. If you try it, let us know!
(Unrelated — I’m so glad to hear you got a What-Cha order… mine’s been clogged up in the system since the cyber attack, but I just got an estimate of next week! Woohoo!)
Well….. I almost made it to cake time with the tea. It is fabulous tea in my humble opinion. Sorry to hear about your order! Mine took a few extra days and it made me crazy! I was so excited to get it I went to the post the minute informed delivery said they had it and begged them to fish it out and hand it over. I hope you get yours soon!
I think I just ordered on the exact wrong day — January 10, when everything happened and Royal Mail shut down. I’m sure they’re working through the pile as fast as they can, and I’m sure I’m at the bottom, haha — so I’m trying to be patient!
Aren’t those little snails something?? :)
