Fish & Crown daisy x Fu Shou Shan Alpine Grand Cru Oolong Tea [ Tea Pairing ] SOIGNÉ Restaurant Seoul X SANBAOTEA Taiwan

Fish & Crown daisy #Ocean #Mountain #Habit
Korean fish soup is always accompanied by “Ssukgat”, which is a crown daisy.

Whether it is a mild fish soup or a spicy hot pot, the distinctive aroma of the fish combines with its tenderness to create a deeply flavourful fish. This great harmony of tender fish fillets, marinated olives, and a rich, aromatic Ssukgat sauce completes the Korean flavours with adding Mediterranean nuances.

Fu Shou Shan Alpine Grand Cru Oolong Tea
is a rare premium variety from the Li Shan region. Morning sun exposure enhances flavor compounds, while cool, misty afternoons allow the plants to retain their qualities. This unique oolong is distinguished by its limited availability and offers a greenish-clear liquor with a delightful aroma of sweet honey and delicate floral notes.

【Tea Pairing Tips】
Just as you are enjoying the technique of Tachibanayaki (うろこ焼き), you can feel the pleasure brought by the crispy and fragrant fish skin. The delicious, tender and juicy fish meat, dipped in the marinated olives, and a rich, aromatic Ssukgat sauce, coats the tongue.
The green peaks of hot drinks in Fushou Mountain oolong tea are like the pure and sweet dew in the primeval forest, continuing the green atmosphere and bringing out the aroma of small white flowers. It seems that you, immersed in the delicious taste of the sea, instantly feel the purity from the mountains.
