Charlie Winkworth Smith: "We were excited to work with Aneesh and The Chocolatier team as we have a complementary view on the quality and richness single-origin ingredients bring to Saicho and their chocolates"

To taste, we recommend you allow a piece of chocolate to melt on your palate before indulging in the preferred sparkling tea pairing.

"Single-origin chocolate is special because you get a concentration of flavour.
When mixing origins, this is entirely lost. By using beans from one source, we gain a wealth of flavour which delicately unravels on the palate.

It has been so much fun to collaborate with Saicho! Tea needs to be bold and stand up against chocolate. Saicho is packed full of flavour and they really work well with chocolate.

Much like chocolate, tea is carefully harvested with a unique and specific process, the respect and ritual observed in fine foods crosses over cultures and this is seen in the breadth of Saicho's range”

We are offering an exclusive quantity of the Saicho and The Chocolatier bundle, making this the perfect gift for that special someone this Valentine’s Day.
