Tea, Like Wine, is Open to Adventure

All too often, tea is lumped into the same category as coffee. So it makes sense that when some people think of pairing tea with foods, they ask themselves, "What works well with coffee?" However, most tea lovers will quickly tire of the limited choices (doughnuts and biscotti) available under this coupling. The most effective way to approach this subject is not through coffee, rather through another gourmet product known for its complementary nature: wine.

Pairing for Beginners

When I discuss the importance of pairing tea and food in foodservice environments, I always stress that the best that can be offered is a guideline—a helping hand to achieve a nicely balanced list of tea that complements the food offered by your establishment. Whether your menu consists of foie gras or bagels and cream cheese, I don’t believe the process has to be any more complex. Rather, pairing tea with food should be an enjoyable step in designing your overall menu.
