A Match Made in Culinary Heaven: Five Amazing Tea & Food Pairings you must Try

on September 27, 2024

The art of pairing tea with food is a delicate balance of flavours, aromas, and textures. When done right, it elevates both the tea and the dish to new heights, creating a harmony of tastes that's greater than the sum of its parts.

Join us as we explore five incredible tea and food pairings that showcase the versatility of our teas and the creativity of our kitchen.

Masala Chai & Samosas

When you think of the quintessential Indian beverage, masala chai is likely the first thing that comes to mind. Its rich flavours and aromatic spices have made it a beloved staple across the country. Crafted from robust black tea and infused with warming spices like ginger, cardamom, and cinnamon, our masala chai is not just a drink - it's a comforting embrace that invigorates your senses.

Now imagine pairing this iconic brew with our golden, crispy samosas. The flaky, savoury pastry comes with a spiced potato and pea filling, creating a delightful contrast in textures. The bold spices of the masala chai harmonise beautifully with the earthy flavours of the samosa filling, while the tea's slight astringency cuts through and balances the richness of this fried delicacy.

This classic combination is a true celebration of Indian flavours, uniting two beloved favourites in perfect synergy.

Black Tea Kombucha with Pizza & Pasta

Our Black Tea Kombucha is a revelation in every sip. Brewed from the finest Darjeeling black tea, known for its muscatel notes and floral aromas, this kombucha is slightly tart and has a sweetness that makes it an excellent palate cleanser.

When paired with pizzas, the acidity in the kombucha beautifully balances the richness of the cheese and complements the tangy notes of the tomato sauce. With pasta dishes - whether it's a creamy carbonara or a zesty arrabbiata - the kombucha's effervescence and gentle tartness lighten the sauce's richness, refreshing your palate and elevating the overall dining experience.

Not only does kombucha support digestion with its probiotic properties, but its bright, bubbly nature brings a sense of balance to heavier meals, allowing you to fully appreciate each flavour without feeling weighed down.

Emerald Green Tea & Salads

Few combinations are as refreshing as the pairing of our Emerald Green Tea with a crisp, vibrant salad. For those seeking a light, wholesome meal, this duo is a perfect match. Emerald Green Tea, with its full-bodied yet refreshing character, offers delicate grassy notes and a clean finish. The tea's subtle flavour profile complements the salad's bright, fresh ingredients, making each bite feel both nourishing and revitalising.

This pairing is a celebration of simplicity and balance, showcasing how the purest flavours can create the most memorable dining experiences.

Matcha Milkshake & Mexican Burrito Bowl

The pairing of a Matcha Milkshake with a Mexican Burrito Bowl is a prime example of how seemingly disparate culinary traditions can come together in delicious harmony.

Our Matcha Milkshake, made with premium-grade matcha, offers a distinctive flavour - a perfect balance of slight bitterness and lingering sweetness, mellowed and enhanced by the creamy richness of the milkshake. It's refreshing yet indulgent, energising yet soothing. Paired with a Mexican Burrito Bowl - a fiesta of flavours and textures - it creates a surprisingly balanced experience. The milkshake's cool, refreshing qualities offset the spiciness of the burrito bowl, while its smoothness complements the hearty textures.

Rosehip Hibiscus Cooler & Balsamic Chicken Panini

Last but certainly not least, our Rosehip Hibiscus Cooler - a caffeine-free, vibrant beverage that's as beautiful to look at as it is to drink. With its bold pink hue and fruity, tangy notes, this cooler is the perfect partner for a savoury meal.

When paired with a Balsamic Chicken Panini, magic happens. The cooler's tartness beautifully contrasts the tanginess of the balsamic glaze. Its subtle sweetness enhances the caramelised notes in the grilled chicken, while the floral hints of hibiscus provide a refreshing balance to the zesty elements of the sandwich. A celebration of flavour, colour, and nourishment, this pairing is a must-try for those seeking a unique culinary experience.
