🍪🍵Chinese Tea and Argentinian Pastry Tasting.

🎎 We invite you to a special cultural mix experience!

China-Argentina: you could think - what a crazy mix and what’s the connection and what could be more exotic?

Maybe it's not easy to track connections between those 2 countries of Asia and South America, and so we make one now and here in Lisbon, because why not! We know Lisbon as a surprising and multicultural city where different traditions meet and combine.

🪷 Initially when tea ceremonies were developed in China they were usually not accompanied with food, and tea was enjoyed pure as a form of mindful activity and meditation. Later and recently in China tea drinking is also practiced in a circle of friends or family, to celebrate joy and harmony of being together. Nowadays even the finest teas are welcomed to be enjoyed along with delicious snacks.
🌿 Here we want to mix the traditions of 2 very different countries met in Lisbon. We’ll discover the most surprising flavors of high quality Chinese tea, up to 3 different types, served in a traditional way of Gongfu ceremony setting.

🧧 You’ll get to know interesting stories of Chinese tea history and production. You’ll have a chance to wake up your senses and guess which notes are present in your tea brew, and for sure you’re going to be surprised as Chinese teas can be sweet or astringent, floral or fruity, zesty or mineral.

🍪 And between the tastings we can enjoy delicious Argentinian snacks that are known for their sensual combinations of texture with flavor, the famous Dulce de leche, Alfajor and others, made by the skilled pastry chef.
