Tikmi #1: The First of Many
Sharing with you snippets of our Tikmi sessions last weekend at the studio.
Coffee, from our partner farm in Maragusan, was served as the first item on both AM and PM sets. In the AM set, led by J**s, the coffee was served hot via Pour Over while it was served iced via Aeropress in the PM Set. When we brewed it, our team tasted ripe indian mango, apple juice, and medium roasted cacao nibs. This particular coffee is a special batch of experimental robusta with only around 15kg in existence. It will probably be served only at our Tikmi sessions too.
For the second item on the AM Set: Saba with Kamias extract topped with torched Kinari chocolate and Mulberry fruit was served. While Brioche, with Kaya Jam and Barbados Cherry Jam alongside Sousvide Egg with Toyo, was served during the PM Set. The participants were encouraged to eat with their hands and play with their food.
The AM Set culminated with a curation by the Tago Team: the Subangan soda composed of Hibiscus, Mulberry, and Passionfruit. The PM Set, on the other hand, ended with an indulgent blend of hot Kinari Chocolate.
Tikmi is an invitation to taste. It is our take on an intimate and relaxed tasting session that showcases coffee, cacao, and local produce that we encounter in our day to day lives. Kaya tara, Tikmi ang mga hinanda namin para sa inyo.
