Let’s take advantage of the transition to summer, a few days ago, to play on the words in this sequence word of mouth with the suggestion to taste the teas. We often have the image of a steaming mug to appreciate this drink, while we can also enjoy it in the heat of July or August, in a cold or even iced version.
“I find that there is a diversity in tea that is unknown to Westernersis surprised Thierry Marx. We see the coffee market which has exploded in Asia, whereas this is not the case for the tea market here. In this diversity of tea, there are pleasures to discover, especially in restaurants, where we see customers arriving who do not want alcohol, and who can offer food and tea pairings.
Not yet entered our culture
Just like coffee therefore, even wine, there are tea vintages, depending on the regions of production in the world, depending on the valleys where it grows, depending on the year and their climate. French gastronomy should open up more widely to proposals around tea. But it’s not really our culture and there is still a long way to go.
There is a method to prepare your tea, explains Thierry Marx, who is a big drinker: “You first have to choose the tea you like, why not a blend. Then, you have to infuse with a downward gradient: you don’t infuse a oolong as one infuses a matcha. So there is a personal involvement, even a little ceremonial which is very soothing.”
