Join Marshall from Rough Spirits, Richard from Whiskey Provisioner, and So-Han from West China Tea as they dive deep into rum and tea. In this episode, they sample two rums from Rum JM in Martinique - one from volcanic soil that gives it intense flavor and character, and a more blended version that still has nice flavors but is more approachable.
So-Han draws parallels to how terroir affects tea, and how having rum and tea experts enhances the tasting experience. They geek out over the agricultural and "botanical" nature of rum in contrast to other spirits, appreciating the pure sugarcane character. References to music and quality give analogies to describe the nuances.
Overall, an insightful yet casual conversation between beverage aficionados. Whether you're a tea lover getting into rum, or a rum drinker wanting to better understand terroir, you'll appreciate the perspectives shared. See how expertise and passion can elevate your appreciation of rum, tea, or any craft product.
