What snacks are best paired with tea?

A saying goes: “Sweet with green, acid with red, melon seeds with oolong.”

There are many kinds of snacks on the market today. In recent years, special teas with tea have become more popular.

Today, we will highlight some representative examples of tea lovers’ experiences and ideas in choosing tea. We welcome your additions.

1. Pastry

Chinese and Western pastries, pastries, cake, bread, biscuits, SaQima, moon cakes, all kinds of crisps, and so on.

Sugar and oil in most of them can effectively prevent drunk tea. They are sweet foods, which can fill the stomach;

Before drinking tea, it is a good idea to fill up some sweets if you have an empty stomach or a hungry stomach.

2. Meat

It is inevitable that some people will not be happy without meat! After eating such greasy dishes as Dongpo meat and stewed pig’s feet, you will want a cup of tea to relieve your greasiness.

You can eat beef jerky, pork shop, dried fish steak, etc. when you are hungry when you drink tea.

3. Fruit

There are many ways to drink tea. Some people prefer to eat fruit, while others think that water is too sweet or too much for tea.

Choose fruits according to your preference, such as orange, longan, strawberry, kiwi fruit, apple, grape, fruit sugar, etc.

4. Candied

The majority of candied fruit is made by salting and dehydrating fruits, such as plums, hawthorns, etc., but the sugar content of such snacks is too high, and too much sugar will spoil tea.

Furthermore, preserved tangerine peel also has a good taste, and can be moderately selected.

5. Nut

It can be said that nuts are extremely suitable for tea snacks due to their low moisture content, low sugar and salt content, and their ability to not only contribute to satiety but also not alter the taste of tea.

When choosing nuts, make sure the original nuts are chosen. For example, hazelnuts, chestnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, pine nuts, etc.

6. Cooked food

A Cantonese-style morning tea table features many types of dumplings, such as steamed pork, shrimp dumplings, and steamed spare ribs.

Cantonese morning tea relies more on snacks than tea, and drinking tea just relieves the taste of dim sum.

7. Eating nothing

It doesn’t matter what kind of tea you drink, more or less will be left in your mouth, resulting in a false tea flavor.

An independent special line of people who prefer a simple, clean, neat tea table can clean up the heart even more.

Some tea friends decide not to eat during tea, which is also a very good idea. 

Final

Most people still like to match tea with dim sum, unless they need to work or want to concentrate on tea. On the one hand, it can prevent drunken tea; on the other hand, it can also satisfy the mouth’s desire. They can study their own experience when deciding what kind of tea matches what kind of snack.

Upon tasting and eating tea, a sense of happiness arises spontaneously, and that is enough.
