What are the rules ?
Food and tea pairings, like food and wine pairings, are very personal. There are no strict rules. However, here are some guidelines to know:
- A similarity pairing: pairing a food and a tea with common flavours. For example, a Sencha tea pairs perfectly with green vegetables.
- A contrast pairing: combine a dish and a tea by mixing different but complementary tastes. For example, an Earl Grey tea with citrus notes blends perfectly with a butter biscuit.
- A fusion pairing: a food and a tea should be combined with two distinct flavours to bring out a new impression. For example, a Darjeeling Imperial F.O.P. tea with a blue cheese such as Roquefort or Bleu d'Auvergne.
