The tea pairing started with one guest who came every month and never drank. We were pouring her water, and she deserved better.
Every pour answers a course. Cold genmaicha with the scallop, because toasted rice and smoked dashi agree. Verjus and sorrel with the sunchoke, sharp enough to cut the black garlic. A 2009 oolong with the burnt honey, poured hot, because dessert is the one course that wants warmth in the glass.
It costs 55. About one guest in five orders it now, and some of them drink.
