JING™ has revealed that two of their single garden loose leaf teas have been chosen to create an innovative pairing twist on the Scandinavian-inspired set tasting menu and The Chef’s Table at Ekstedt at The Yard, London. The partnership between JING and Michelin starred chef Niklas Ekstedt’s first restaurant outside of Stockholm celebrates a joint passion for creating exceptional experiences.
Melanie Tricklebank, CEO of JING™ comments:
“We travel the world to responsibly source the highest quality and most remarkable single garden teas directly from tea origins across the globe, with a mission to change how people think about and experience tea. We have worked closely with the team at Ekstedt at The Yard to select teas that pair perfectly with the bay leaf ice cream, fermented strawberries and honey mead dish on the spring menu. It is testament to that team’s refined palate and dedication to innovation that they have chosen our Phoenix Honey Orchid and Vanilla Black teas to feature alongside their world-class wine pairings, to offer their guests an elevated dining experience.”
Klearchos Kanellakis, Head Sommelier from Ekstedt at The Yard says:
“We are committed to providing unparalleled culinary encounters and constantly seeking ways to exceed expectations. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with JING to curate this selection of teas to complement our Scandinavian-inspired dish.”
Ekstedt at The Yard was opened in 2021 by multi award winning Michelin starred chef Niklas Ekstedt in Great Scotland Yard Hotel in Westminster. It focuses on Scandinavian cooking techniques with open fire cooking and using the very best seasonal British ingredients. Guests can choose to dine at The Chef’s Table or try the 5-course Journey to Scandinavia tasting menu or 7-course Immersive Journey to Scandinavia with the option to add a wine flight with their Volcanic or Emerging Regions pairing. The Chef’s Table is limited to an intimate seven guests at a shared table with a front-row seat to the magic of the kitchen.
