Sip, Savor, Repeat: Tea & Dessert Pairings
There's something special about slowing down with a cup of tea and a homemade dessert. The right pairing is able to complement the flavors of each item while also bringing out subtle notes you might not notice on their own. Whether you're winding down after dinner or treating yourself to an afternoon break, these tea pairings are designed to make every bite even better.
Blackberry Lavender Bar (Vegan) + Ruby Hibiscus
Our Blackberry Lavender Crumble Bar is bright, floral, and perfectly balanced with juicy blackberry flavor. Pair it with a refreshing Ruby Hibiscus Tea for a relaxing combination where the delicate floral notes complement the vibrant fruit without overpowering it.
This bright combination is not exclusive to our Ruby Hibiscus Tea. Our staple, Blueberry Hibiscus, is another tea that will complement the tart blackberry flavor beautifully.
Why it works: The floral and spices of this tea beautifully enhance the lavender's floral notes while also grounding the tartness of the blackberry.
Lemon Bar + Earl Grey Supreme
Few desserts are as refreshing as a classic Lemon Bar. The citrus notes pair wonderfully with Earl Grey, whose bergamot enhances the lemon without competing with it.
Looking for a caffeine-free option? A Ginger Turmeric herbal tea delivers warmth and a gentle spice that balances the bar's bright, tangy filling.
Why it works: The pairing’s citrus flavors echo one another, while the tea adds another layer of depth and complexity.
Cosmic Brownie + Moroccan Mint Tea
The Cosmic Brownie’s rich chocolate deserves a pairing that refreshes the palate. Moroccan Mint tea provides a cool contrast to the dense, fudgy brownie; making each bite taste just as satisfying as the first.
Why it works: Mint naturally complements chocolate while also cleansing the palate between bites.
Almond Danish + White Petal
A warmed Almond Danish is a wonderful companion to our NEW White Petal tea. The buttery pastry and delicate almond filling of the danish complement the tea's creamy body. The chamomile and osmanthus flowers in the White Petal Tea add a soft floral sweetness that keeps the pairing light and elegant.
Why it works: Buttery, nutty flavors enhance the tea's creamy character, while the floral notes brighten the pastry without overpowering it.
Chocolate Walnut Oat Bar + Classic Citrus
A Classic Citrus bergamot tea and a Chocolate Walnut Oat Bar go together seamlessly. The tea's bright, aromatic notes of citrus cut through the richness of the chocolate; while its smooth black tea base complements the toasted walnuts and hearty oats in the bar. Together, they create a balanced pairing that is both comforting and refreshing.
Why it works: The citrusy bergamot cuts through the rich and sweet chocolate elevating the dessert experience.
Incredible Bar + Masala Chai Tea (latte)
Peanut butter and chocolate are a timeless combination, and Masala Chai is their perfect companion. The chai's warming blend of spices enhances the creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate, and its robust black tea base balances the bar's sweetness. Try your Masala Chai as a latte for an extra creamy treat that makes this pairing even more decadent.
Why it works: Peanut butter and warming spices (cinnamon, cardamom, clove) are natural companions.
