some of my favorites

⎯⎯

Foods- 'I'm a 'flexitarian' and eat almost anything, but if you find vegan or gluten free treats it's appreciated! I love a good cheese plate, chocolate, and fresh fruit! Especially lychee and java apples.

Drinks- I'm a huge fan of good quality Japanese matcha or
hōjicha (and most teas in general), As for cordials, while I can certainly enjoy a good sauvignon blanc rosé (vinho verde is more my speed though), I prefer a rebujito, mai ti or a highball.
