I arrived early and seized the opportunity to snap some shots of their impressive setup. We would end up sampling ten teas that afternoon—a collection of white, green, yellow, oolong, and red (otherwise known as black).
All guests had their own labeled double-walled vessel. Putting that labeler to good use for sure.
At first I thought David had created his own tea bag labels. David's Tea turns out to be a Canadian specialty tea company from Montreal.
If you haven't Googled by now, "ultracrepidarianism" is the habit of giving opinions or advice on matters outside of one's knowledge. Luckily, we had some reference material.
A few of the teas had food pairing, but we also had excellent snack options in front of us.
This herbal tea wasn't actually part of the tasting. Pure decoration.
A closer look at one of the teas—Jasmine Phoenix Eyes white tea if I'm not mistaken. It turns out that all tea comes from the same plant. The end product depends on how it is processed.
Judging by the color, this might be the rare yellow tea. Even my unrefined palate easily picked up on its earthiness.
A shot of one of the food pairings. I regret not photographing the deliciously sweet black garlic item.
No Debbie and David event is complete without a culinary visit to Baguette Cafe. Olivier's quiche is always on point.
As is the uber rich and decadent chocolate torte.
