When I and my family were visiting Koh Chang in Thailand we lived close to a newly opened restaurant in White Sand Beach - Padamas. They served this tea called Oolong. Even though I drink a lot of tea and mostly green tea I've never tasted Oolong tea before. It has a sweet and lovely taste. The difference between green, oolong and black tea is that for oolong the oxidation is somewhere between the both others. First I got told to let the leaves stay in the pot but I found the tea to be better if you let them stay in the pot for 2 - 4 minutes and then you take them out. You can reused them multiple times. I'v heard that the chinese say the third time is the best, I don't know but it is probably true. :)

A few weeks ago I was on a chocolate test where I had the opportunity to test chocolate made of different cocoa beans. My favorite was Valrhona made of the criollo bean. Did you know one of the most expensive chocolates is Amedei Porcelana, it is told to be made of the genetically pure and very rare "Porcelana" criollo bean. Porcelana because the translucent white colour of the bean. To try Amedei Porcelana is definitely going to be added to my wish list.

My favorite chocolate shop is located in Helsingborg, Sweden - Sofies Butik. She sells pralines made by Stefan Johnson-Petersén. I have tried a lot of different pralines but they are often combinations of different tastes and on the way they loose the wonderful chocolate taste. To be honest I think they are to complicated. These pralines are also found in NK, Stockholm.

Today I found a presentation on YouTube that fascinated me a lot. Take a look, I love it.
