Endicott PR on LinkedIn: Thinking about autumn already? Here are some places you can get a seasonal… (2024)

It’s another rainy day at home and days like this, you want comfort items.For me, that could a good stew or rich soup.Sometimes, It’s a lovely cup of homemade hot chocolate.However, most of the time, I reach for a cup of tea to savor (and hold on to the mug to warm up cold hands).This is exactly how I felt when I decided to review Yunnan Sourcing’s High Mountain Red Ai Lao.I have to admit that this brew through me off a bit.Don’t get me wrong as it’s a great blend that you should try.This one was different.My first brew was at 195 F for 3 minutes and the brew showed depth and good flavors.But something was missing.The next brew was at 205F for the three minutes.That made a world of a difference.This is another lovely entry tea for several reasons:·It’s easy to drink and sip on.·It’s a clean blend of aromas and flavors that I believe everyone will enjoy.·It’s not fruity as sometimes you want the change from bergamot in a typical Earl Grey.·It has some interesting Asian notes not found in other teas I’ve reviewed.I’m always about showcasing different teas and this falls perfectly into that category.It’s just a different blend that I really think everyone should try.This is now one of the teas I travel with to relax to at the end of a day or sip on during an event.More importantly, I know that when the weather is warmer, this will make a fantastic iced tea with its lovely flavor hints.Head over to the ArtofthePair.com to check out this week’s review and others.Enjoy the new search function to make it easier to find items on my site.However, just enjoy today with a great cup of tea.www.ArtofthePair.com#tea #blacktea #oolong #classic #tealover #tealovers #beverage #beverages #somm #sommlife #sommelier #chef #chefs #foodies #foodiesofinstagram #foodie #eggroll#wontonsoup #poached #wildgame chicken #chicken #almond cookies #pepperridgefarms #milanocookies #spicenpans #asianfood #stirfry

Top Note found our way into Imbibe Magazine this past month. We are thrilled to be part of the mix of grapefruit sodas tasted as part of their round up of the category!Why this list now?Palomas are hot hot hot. And this co*cktail is extremely easy to craft with a great grapefruit soda.But, besides taste, #barmanagers need to get to the nitty gritty, and that is costs. We would add a couple of nuances to this round up;1. Imports on this list are all in 200 ml packages or smaller, and they are all higher, by far, in sugar....yes, the US products are not sugar bombs (surprise!). 2. If you own a bar program, imports cost you....You just don't get the same number of co*cktails out of the case. The single serve/bottle or can is not a good look if you are seeking sustainability either.3. Domestics are in bigger bottles or cans, and serve perfect 2 drinks. But, sugar levels are all over the place. Find one that fits your customer preference and co*cktail style.4. If flavor matters (it always does), Top Note gives you the most real juice in our grapefruit soda, and is a gold medal Grapefruit. Find the entire write up here.https://lnkd.in/dcqiyJnS

Dark roast coffees are known for their bold, robust, and pronounced flavor profiles. The longer roasting time leads to the development of rich, deep flavors and a more prominent caramelization of sugars in the beans. The flavor of dark roast coffees is containing notes of chocolate, caramel, and roasted nuts.As the roasting process progresses, dark roasts tend to have lower acidity levels compared to lighter roasts. This can be appealing to individuals who prefer a smoother and less tangy coffee experience. The reduced acidity can make dark roasts more gentle on the stomach for those who are sensitive to acidic beverages.Dark roasts often have a bittersweet or slightly bitter taste due to the extended roasting time. This bitterness can be enjoyed by those who appreciate a more robust and intense flavor profile.Dark roasts are often used in espresso-based beverages, as they can provide a strong and bold flavor that stands up well to milk and other flavorings. They can also be brewed using methods like French press and Moka pot, which allow the oils and flavors to fully develop. Dark roasts offer versatility and can be enjoyed in various brewing techniques.#coffee #roasting #espresso #mealzense
