Tea Pairing: What Goes Best with Your Favorite Snacks

Various teas paired with different snacks

At Tea The World, we love how the right tea can bring out the best in a snack. Here are some delicious pairings to try.

1. Savory Crackers and Herbal Tea

Whole grain crackers pair nicely with a bright, refreshing herbal tea. Try Morocco Simply Tea Peppermint or our Southeast Asia Everyday Herbal Tea.

2. Cheese and Oolong

Oolong’s complexity stands up to rich cheeses like sharp cheddar or creamy brie. Try our fruity Raspberry Hibiscus Oolong.

3. Chocolate and Black Tea

Malty black tea and dark chocolate are a classic match. Try our Irish Breakfast or the citrusy Earl Grey Bravo.

4. Fresh Fruit and Green Tea

The fresh, grassy notes of green tea highlight the sweetness of apples, berries, and citrus. Try India Simply Green Tea or Turkish Apricot and Peach Green Tea.

5. Nuts and a Gentle Tea

Almonds and cashews pair well with mellow teas like rooibos or white tea. Try Green Rooibos Bonita.

6. Spicy Chips and Chai

Warm spices stand up to bold, spicy snacks, and a splash of milk cools the heat. Try our Masala Chai Loose Leaf Tea.

7. Popcorn and Fruity Tea

Sweet popcorn pairs well with a fruity or apple-cinnamon tea like our Apple Cinnamon Herbal Tea. Savory popcorn loves chai.
