“Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match…”
We’ve played the matchmaking game for friends and family, and funnily enough, it’s often the oddest couples that work best together.
This is exactly what the great minds at Lenoir Lacroix are having success with. Already a well-known provider of organic and fair-trade coffees, teas and chocolates, they’ve opened a “tasting room” called the Degustarium in Little Italy. Their café-style location has a full schedule of tastings where everyone is welcome to sample some of the most amazing (and unusual) couplings based on their excellent product line.
Our debut as official taste tester, pairing 45 combinations of Quebec Cheeses and their special Coffee Blends ($20), was filled with pleasant surprises. The union of subtle yet sophisticated flavours made the Gouda and dark espresso our favourite by far. Various semi-firm blue cheeses sampled with infused brown roasts were also delicious. We can’t wait for our next Demystifying Coffee session ($20), as well as their Tea and Fish Tartar ($35). (No joke; it’s one of their best sellers!)
Now if only we could find true love that easily…
