Join hosts So-Han and Richard as they share an in-depth tea and rum tasting experience with special guest Marshall, a rum expert.
In this video, Marshall introduces a rare 20 year old La Maison & Velier rum from Trinidad which he describes in detail, including tasting notes like exotic vanilla and tropical fruit. Sohan shares a special aged fermented tea called Black Lodge from 1990, comparing its earthy flavor to garden vegetables.
The three discuss their passion for spirits, tea, and sharing unique experiences with friends. They talk about the community around niche hobbies and how insider language can sometimes feel exclusive. Marshall explains how rum and whiskey interact differently on the palate.
Overall, it's a thought-provoking conversation about the joy of exploration, finding delight in obscure objects, and building community around esoteric interests. With openness and genuine curiosity, even disparate worlds like aged Chinese tea and Caribbean rum can come together for an enlightening experience.
