There's nothing quite like enjoying a delicious sweet treat with a soothing cup of tea. In the Middle East, the tradition of pairing sweets with herbal teas is a time-honored practice that enhances the flavors and experience of both. In this blog post, we explore the best ways to pair our authentic Middle Eastern sweets with our selection of herbal teas.
Baklava and Moroccan Mint Tea:
The rich, nutty sweetness of Baklava pairs beautifully with the refreshing and slightly astringent notes of Moroccan Mint Tea. The minty freshness cuts through the sweetness of the Baklava, creating a perfectly balanced flavor experience.
Ma'amoul and Cardamom Tea:
Ma'amoul, with its delicate shortbread texture and date or nut filling, is best enjoyed with a cup of Cardamom Tea. The warm, spicy notes of cardamom complement the rich flavors of the Ma'amoul, making it an ideal pairing for a cozy afternoon treat.
Turkish Delight and Rose Tea:
Turkish Delight, known for its chewy texture and floral flavors, is a match made in heaven with Rose Tea. The subtle floral notes in both the sweet and the tea create a harmonious and fragrant pairing that is both delicate and delightful.
Halva and Sage Tea:
Halva, a dense and sweet confection made from sesame, pairs well with the earthy and slightly bitter notes of Sage Tea. The bitterness of the tea balances the sweetness of the Halva, making it a perfect pairing for those who prefer less sugary desserts.
