Happy Holiday!
What is the freshest souvenir from Austria? No doubt the Orginal Sacher tea; What are the best companions with Jasmine black tea? Surely Mozart chocolate from Salzburg teaming up with ROYAL DOULTON tea set from the flea market. During the holiday season, we should celebrate. Let there be treats!
The Original SACHER tea from Wien, Austria, its organic infusion in black tea and jasmine green tea delivers its strong and rich odor, and dipped into the 90°c boiled water, the colour is in slight orange mixed with berry red; its scent is spreading fast and furiously. Following the SACHER HOTEL iconic interior design, the wavy tin can in 7cm x 7.5cm x7cm perfect size emprinte the vintage photos of the hotel façade on the front and back, as if a mini SACHER HOTEL architecture model, makes it an alluring collector’s must-have.
The story of SACHER HOTEL macarons begins in the middle of the nineteenth century, since then, Sacher’s recipe never changed. The joy of the crispy yet creamy Rosé, salted caramel, dark chocolate and forest berry kick off from a layer of dense and melting ganache of brown sugar mixing up together with the salty shells, ‘salty caramels’ makes the perfect balance of the meticulous greasy feels. I find that SACHER chocolate macarons usually have a sense of bitterness; therefore, it could be great to match with sweeter afternoon tea.
Originally known as Mozart-Bonbon, named after musician and composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, MozartKugel is a round sugar confection made of pistachio, marzipan, nougat and dark chocolate. Created in 1890 by Salzburg confectioner Paul Fürst (1856–1941), the receipt of MozartKugel is a ball of marzipan placed on a small wooden stick and coated in dark chocolate. The stick is then placed vertically, with the ball at the top, on a platform to allow the chocolate to cool off and harden. The removal of the stick leaves the hole is filled with chocolate coating and wrapped in metal foil at its completed manufacturing stage. MozartKugel remain fresh for about eight weeks at room temperature.
Nowadays, dispute between MIREBELL and REBER, the very original Mozartkugel is only available from a tiny shop front in Salzburg, the Fürst confectionery at No. 13, Brodgasse.
ROYAL DOULTON is an English ceramic and home accessories manufacturer that was founded in 1815. Operating originally in Vauxhall, London, and later moving to Lambeth in 1882. its wares were marked Doulton & Co.from 1853 to 1901, ROYAL DOULTON was officially issued the royal warrant in 1901, the tea cup set with 22 karat golden accent trims is my proud bargain from the flea market. The rosy, yellowish and greenery hues of the dahlia on cup, saucer and sugar jar make the whole set as the perfect match with SACHER burgundy tone, and it’s such a lovely visual pleasure to place Mozart in violin character figure.
