So a good way to think about natural pairings is to look at the cuisine from the tea regions. For instance, nothing could go with seafood better than Japanese Green teas - such as Sencha, or Genmaicha. To take this a step further green teas in general (including many of those from China, Korea, and Vietnam) are superb with seafood. Rice and green tea is also a natural fit. In many traditional Japanese meals the course before dessert is often Ochazuke - rice in a green tea broth often with salmon.</p><p>From Qualiteas.com</p> Wed, 31 Dec 1969 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.foodandteapairings.com/natural-pairings-look-local-2/
