Flavour #4: Earl Grey Chocolate Truffles

 

"A revered favourite, Earl Grey was first created by a Chinese Mandarin in honour of the British Prime Minister. Earl Grey is a large leaf, full-bodied Sri-Lankan blend of Ceylon orange pekoe and generous amounts of bergamot, producing an all-time classic tea. The orange pekoe leaves brew a coppery liquor with a pronounced bergamot aroma. The flavour is bold with good body and bright bergamot overtones that linger on the palate. It yields a slightly smokey finish with medium tannin." is how this tea is described by T2, our go-to tea palace.

To be really honest with you, we are not fans of Earl Grey.

We would be pinching our nose and making a face if we are made to drink the scented tea on its own but infused into the ganache centre of our chocolate truffles, it's a whole different story! We can't have enough of it! It's hard to put in words but the chocolate, strangely, takes the tea to a whole new dimension. A bloody good one.

We like how one of our customers, an Earl Grey-lover, described the experience. "It's like drinking Earl Grey out of a cup made out of chocolate. A cup that you can eat while you're drinking." she said. Haha.
