APPETIZER
Planning an appetizer featuring slices of foie gras? Achieve a perfect match by pairing it with a Grand Yunnan Imperial, distinguished by its animal and honeyed hints, or a subtly woody Premium Yunnan Buds. For a fusion of flavors, consider the Milky Oolong, a tea with buttery and vanilla undertones, which adds a touch of sweetness. If you're a caviar enthusiast, the Grand Crus of Japanese green tea from spring harvests provide an umami-rich experience.

SMALL PLATES/ STARTERS
Starting with a green vegetable soup for your appetizer? Opt for a lightly oxidized Taiwan Oolong, such as Imperial Bao Zhong, to create a complementary pairing. On the other hand, a strongly oxidized Oolong, like Butterfly of Taiwan, provides a delightful contrast with the flavors of a vegetable pie or a quiche Lorraine. If you're preparing a mushroom dish, consider savoring a Pu Erh, a dark tea with a forest-like bouquet that complements it perfectly. And when enjoying raw shellfish or shellfish in ravioli, select a roasted green tea like Bancha Hojicha for a harmonious combination, or go for the contrast with a roasted tea like Shiraore Kuki Hojicha.
