The Pairing Table
With the launch of our new Pairing Table series at Admari, I found myself returning to something I haven’t made enough space for in recent years, culinary creation.
I’m mean I am always creating with tea. I am always developing matcha drinks, or tea syrups, blending teas, composing drinks but this is different. The Pairing Table brings me back to the stove, to the scent of herbs on my hands, to my dance in the kitchen when everything is in motion. It’s the joy of building flavor pairings, of imagining how something might taste, and, maybe most of all, of watching someone take that first bite or sip, that instant recognition of joy, like a candle being lit.
