Loose tea and cake combinations
Tea and cake have always been a winning combination, the pairing of a quality loose leaf tea with a slice of cake can seriously enhance the taste of both. To say there's a tea for all occasions is so true and even more so when you add cake. Here's some great combinations to try:
1. Earl Grey with Lemon cake:
The citrusy notes in Earl Grey tea complement the zesty flavour of lemon cake.
2. Chai Tea with Carrot Cake:
The bold and warming spices in chai tea go well with the rich and spiced flavors of a carrot cake.
3. English Breakfast Tea with Victoria Sponge Cake:
The robust and malty flavours of English Breakfast tea work well with the classic and light Victoria Sponge Cake.
4. Oolong Tea with Almond Cake:
The nutty and slightly sweet profile of oolong tea can enhance the flavors of almond cake.
5. Rooibos Tea with Chocolate Cake:
Rooibos tea's naturally sweet and woody notes pair well with the richness of chocolate cake.
6. Peppermint Tea with Chocolate Mint Cake:
The minty freshness of peppermint tea enhances the minty chocolate flavors in a chocolate mint cake.
7. White Tea with Vanilla Cake:
The subtle and delicate flavours of white tea won't overpower the simple and classic taste of vanilla pound cake.
