It\u2019s hard to talk about \u201ctea time\u201d, when any occasion can really be the right moment to try new pairings with either sweet or savory foods. Tea is perfect during meals because it \u201ccleanses\u201d the palate and exalts the flavor of the foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exactly like wine, tea can accompany any food and can intensify the flavor of certain dishes, if properly paired. In restaurants, the idea of serving tea paired with the menu is no longer so uncommon. In fact, many chefs, in collaboration with tea sommeliers, are exploring new sensory and taste horizons.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>HOW DOES TEA PAIR WITH FOOD?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The objective of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pairing<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is to offer a sensory experience in which various levels of taste and aroma can be perceived, exalting both the flavor of the dish and that of the tea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that there are no strict rules regarding tea and food pairings, only guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>ADOPT THE PRINCIPLE \u201cFROM LIGHT TO DARK AND FROM MILD TO STRONG\u201d<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s best to begin with more delicate and subtle teas (for example white or green teas) and to gradually increase the intensity and persistence with stronger and more full bodied teas (for example Assam, Kenya, or Pu\u2019Er).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make another analogy with wine, green, white, yellow, and low-oxidation Oolong teas correspond to white wines and pair well with light dishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-oxidation Oolong teas and oxidized or fermented black teas, which are warmer and have spiced, malted, or earthy notes, can be compared to red wines and therefore pair well with more flavorful foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first approach to pairing consists in paying attention to taste, but it\u2019s also important to analyze the consistency and tactile sensations felt in the mouth. We know that foods can feel soft or crunchy, but tea also elicits feelings on the palate: it can be astringent and refreshing, light and velvety, full-bodied and enveloping&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, <\/span><b>it\u2019s important to pair the \u201cweight\u201d of the food with the body and consistency of the tea<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a delicate fish like sole goes well with a mild tea such as a white tea, a Mao Jian, or even a Ceylon High Grown tea. Meanwhile, an oily fish like salmon, requires a fuller tea, such as a Sencha or a Keemun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The delicate balance created by tea and food pairings is achieved by <\/span><b>adhering to the principle of likeness<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, like citrusy notes with citrus fruits, <\/span><b>or of contrast<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, like sweet with acidic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to keep an open mind, experiment, and choose pairings in which no element is overwhelmed. In fact, a pairing is successful when the intensity of the flavors in the food and in the tea are balanced and each element exalts the flavor of the next, without becoming overly dominant or, on the contrary, getting smothered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Contrasting pairings are hard to find, but they\u2019re definitely the most extravagant and most successful.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The tea must create opposing sensations to those of the food: if the food is oily and greasy, the tea must be fresh and slightly astringent. Likewise, a very sweet food must be softened by a stronger, fuller, and more bitter tea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>In other cases, however, it\u2019s preferable to pair tea with food according to similarity.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For example, sugar, honey, or the creams in certain desserts are often reinforced with sweet teas that have fruity or floral notes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, as a general rule, remember that when a tea is used as an ingredient in the preparation of a dish, it\u2019s recommended to serve this tea, even hot, as an accompaniment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To sum up, when we base our choices on the principle of contrast or likeness, we must always ask ourselves:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is the priority the tea or the food?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which intensities and flavors within the tea and food must be paired?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are there any individual characteristics in the tea or in the food that we wish to exalt?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or, on the contrary, that we wish to cover slightly?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>WHAT FLAVORS DO WE FIND IN TEA?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Flavor is a combination of tastes and smells that are produced by aromatic compounds.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than 600 aromatic molecules are present in tea. For example, in pan-fried green tea we find floral, toasted, and nutty notes (in particular notes of chestnut); in steamed green tea notes of sea water and cooked vegetables emerge (in particular spinach); in white tea notes of hay, honey, bread crust, and butter are prominent; in yellow tea notes of walnut stand out; in Oolong tea the aromas of magnolia, lily of the valley, honey, dried fruit, cocoa, and sweet spices are most prominent; in oxidized black tea the scents of molasses, malt, caramel, and fruit compote are present; and finally, in fermented tea intense notes of damp earth, mushrooms, and woods are strongest. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-14958\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Inner_Te_abbinamento_Cibo3.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Inner_Te_abbinamento_Cibo3.jpg\" alt=\"t\u00e8 e abbinamenti\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27800%27%20height%3D%27400%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20800%20400%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27800%27%20height%3D%27400%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Inner_Te_abbinamento_Cibo3-200x100.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Inner_Te_abbinamento_Cibo3-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Inner_Te_abbinamento_Cibo3-400x200.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Inner_Te_abbinamento_Cibo3-500x250.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Inner_Te_abbinamento_Cibo3-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Inner_Te_abbinamento_Cibo3-700x350.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Inner_Te_abbinamento_Cibo3-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Inner_Te_abbinamento_Cibo3.jpg 800w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON PAIRINGS?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>White tea <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is subtler and more delicate and, because of these characteristics, it\u2019s better to enjoy it alone.

Regardless, one of the most popular pairings among those who approach the world of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tea pairing<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is that of tea and chocolate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Always keeping in mind the principles of contrast or likeness, and<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, above all, <\/span><b>the importance of pairing the consistency of the chocolate with the body of the tea<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, prepare yourself for a heavenly experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tea must not wash away the chocolate and the chocolate must not cover, but rather exalt the tea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the process? Simple: always <\/span><b>\u201cfrom light to dark and from mild to strong\u201d.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First taste each tea by itself, starting with white teas and working your way to fermented black teas. Try to memorize the aromatic notes and the tactile sensations in your mouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then proceed in the same way tasting small pieces of selected chocolates: white, milk, dark, spiced, with citrus, with red fruits, with hazelnut, with caramel\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subsequently, you can taste each tea with each chocolate, looking for the best combinations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A simple, but effective piece of advice: with white or milk chocolate, taste the tea first. Its heat will allow the chocolate to melt evenly and more quickly in your mouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, with dark chocolates or those with a high percentage of cacao, taste the chocolate first and then the tea. This order will further exalt all of the aromatic nuances of the cacao.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>IS <\/b><b><i>PAIRING <\/i><\/b><b>AN ART OR A SCIENCE?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behind our relationship with food and beverages, there\u2019s the science which studies how our brains actively create the sensation of flavor upon receiving sensory stimuli.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cNeurogastronomy\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> involves not only the five senses, but also emotions and memory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, there\u2019s the memory of past sensations, of emotions (pleasant and unpleasant) connected to what we like and don\u2019t like, the sense of gratification.
