Pairing tea with food is a delicate balancing act that, when executed by experts, can make a dining experience extra special.

Expect that when Vicky Lau, chef-owner of two-Michelin-star Tate Dining Room in Sheung Wan on Hong Kong Island, hosts “Ode to Tea”, a tea-pairing lunch experience and Puer tea workshop offered in partnership with Hong Kong-based tea experts Being & Tea.

The four-course lunch will be served on Fridays and Saturdays until July 27 at Tate Dining Room, where guests will be treated to French-Chinese cuisine juxtaposed with rare teas, emblematic of Lau’s East-West culinary vision.

Lau and Being & Tea founder Wing Yeung have carefully matched every drink’s profile – colour, aroma, taste and form – to the composition of each dish.

While tea-pairing menus are not new at Tate Dining Room, a stand-out feature of this experience is that Yeung will be brewing the teas there.
