Demoiselle + Charcuterie Board Tea Paring

Tea is a fun and fragrant beverage to pair with food. If you’re looking for a healthy, non-alcoholic substitution for wine (or you’re simply a tea connoisseur) pairing tea with various foods is a great way to take your dining experience to the next level.

PAIRING DIFFERENT TEA TYPES

While black tea can pair well with everything from a roast dinner to a fruity dessert, white tea can be overpowered by something too rich. Green teas accentuate everything from soft cheeses to fish and smokey BBQ, while oolong can cleanse the palate from a spicy asian dish. There are countless pairings when it comes to tea flavors and how they complement various foods around the world.

DEMOISELLE

Our latest tea collection, Demoiselle, is a soothing assortment of lush, tropical tea blends crafted to evoke the essence of tranquility. This light and refreshing new collection is perfect for spring and the myriad of hosting events that happen during this season.

The Demoiselle Petite and Presentation Box offers 10 and 20 tropical teas.
