First let’s discuss what food items work best with the below teas. This box contains black, white and green tea, each tea has a unique food pairing experience.

Black Teas are famous for their robust, strong flavor profiles. This makes black tea a perfect partner for a savory meal. If you are looking for a protein to partner black tea with hearty, rich meats such as beef, lamb, and venison pair wonderfully with it. If you prefer an option that can be served with meat or as a vegetarian option then pasta is the way to go. Heavy pasta dishes filled with a rich tomato sauce pairs great with black tea.

Green Teas when brewed are known for the signature earthy, vegetative notes it emits. These signature flavors allow for a little more room for food pairings. Vegetarian dishes partner wonderfully with green tea, as do salads of any kind, mild green curries, and light fish or chicken dishes.

White Teas contain a delicate and light flavor profile, with this being known you do not want to pick a dish that could overpower the taste of White tea. Subtle and delicate foods such as a white fish dish, mild cheeses, scones, and light hors d’oeuvres pair wonderfully with the subtle aroma and taste from a cup of white tea.

Oolong Teas are known for providing drinkers with a varying flavor profile. Diverse flavor profiles and foods pair wonderfully with an Oolong tea, such as fruity desserts, smoked cheeses and meats, and dishes with heavy usage of herbs and spices.
