    TEA AND CHOCOLATE PAIRINGS WITH TEANCE

    May 3rd, 3:30-4:30pm ($20/person)
    While tea and chocolate have both been important culinary indulgences throughout the ages, they have typically been savored individually. The combination of tea and chocolates, particularly Asian teas, has never been fully explored in the chocolate world – until now. After months of tea and chocolate selection pairings and tastings, a special collaboration between Charles Chocolates and Teance Fine Teas resulted in the creation of our exclusive collection of     tea infused chocolates.


    Now you can join us in exploring the pairing of chocolate and tea in our monthly Tea and Chocolate Pairing classes. In partnership with     Teance Fine Teas, we will sample a variety of hand crafted chocolates by Charles Chocolates and pair them with teas sourced and selected by Teance Fine Teas. We will discuss the techniques and nuances of selecting pairings to create a harmonious balance between chocolate and tea.

    Cost: $20 per person. Space is limited so advance registration is recommended.
    Date: May 3rd, 3:30-4:30pm
    Tickets: RSVP now at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/24194.
