 Consumption |
Neat, with ice or diluted with hot water |
It lends itself to slow tastings, served neat at room temperature or with a few ice cubes to open up its aromas; a splash of hot water softens it further. In the kitchen it finds natural companions in grilled preparations, mushroom-based dishes and flavorful white meats, but it’s also intriguing with dark chocolate desserts or sesame sweets. A spirit of light character, versatile and suited to those looking for a sip dominated by toasted tea rather than sweetness.
