{"product_id":"craft-chocolate-tea-pairing-kit","title":"Craft Chocolate Tea Pairing Kit","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGather up to three friends, put the kettle on, and host a chocolate and tea pairing at home. The chocolate, tea, placemats, and pairing guide come in one box, and no expertise is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe box includes 1 oz each of two loose-leaf teas from LizzyKate Teas — Hojicha (low caffeine) and Sleepy in Seattle (herbal). Fill one of the 50 biodegradable \u0026amp; chlorine-free tea bags with a heaping teaspoon of tea, steep, and you’re ready to taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe choose the chocolate bars with these teas in mind, mixing plain single-origin bars with inclusion bars made with ingredients like nuts, fruit, or sea salt. White chocolate is a natural match for these teas, so your box may include a bar of white chocolate. The point is to discover what you like. Sip the tea first, then let a piece of  chocolate melt on your tongue. The warm tea helps it along. Chew the inclusion bars to release their flavors. Go back and forth a few times and notice how the tea and chocolate change each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOpen the box and you’ll also find a welcome note, a pairing placemat for each taster to rate every combination, and a Flavor Wheel to help you describe what you taste. The Tea Pairing Guide explains why matching intensity matters more than matching flavor, and it suggests tea styles to try with different chocolates once the included tea runs out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOur founder, Lauren Adler, has been choosing craft chocolate since opening Chocolopolis in Seattle in 2008. She selects each kit from small-batch makers, mostly dark chocolate, so you get the variety without the guesswork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGiving it as a gift? Choose gift packaging with a wax-sealed envelope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou’ll need a kettle and a mug for each taster.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBars are full size, and the size varies by maker.

It goes surprisingly well with chocolate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Chocolate Explorers Club","offers":[{"title":"3 craft chocolate bars \/ Standard","offer_id":67663338963234,"sku":"TPK-3-STD","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 craft chocolate bars \/ Wax-sealed envelope","offer_id":67663338996002,"sku":"TPK-3-GFT","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 craft chocolate bars \/ Standard","offer_id":67663339028770,"sku":"TPK-4-STD","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 craft chocolate bars \/ Wax-sealed envelope","offer_id":67663339061538,"sku":"TPK-4-GFT","price":104.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 craft chocolate bars \/ Standard","offer_id":67663339094306,"sku":"TPK-5-STD","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 craft chocolate bars \/ Wax-sealed envelope","offer_id":67663339127074,"sku":"TPK-5-GFT","price":114.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3941\/4818\/files\/tea-pairing-5bar-cropped.jpg?v=1793826644","url":"https:\/\/chocolateexplorersclub.com\/products\/craft-chocolate-tea-pairing-kit","provider":"The Chocolate Explorers Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
