We’ve heard of pairing wine and cheese, but how about tea and chocolate?
The unexpected pairing can bring out the best in one another bringing about the amazing flavor characteristics that both tea and chocolate have. Foodies will delight in merging these two ingredients together.
Successful tea and chocolate combinations can be achieved by pairing two that have similar characteristics so they enhance one another or by combining two that are vastly different. Tea can help bring out the sharpness of some chocolates while some chocolates can enhance the notes of some teas. They have similar properties that make a killer duo.
