Favorite tea snack

I had this wild idea about shipping (nonperishable) snacks in a traveling box that could be shared like the traveling tea box. This probably won’t come to reality for various reasons but it made think of what other people pair with their teas most commonly.

What is your favorite snack to pair with tea? Or what are you pairing with your tea lately?

I’m obsessed with Japanese snacks so I love pairing green tea with dorayaki, manju, or mochi! They’re very sweet though so I like them best with more savory teas like sencha or genmaicha. :)

I am a fan of Japanese sweets. Mochi and red bean compliments savory sencha and matcha so well.

oh, there are many that I like, but Tunnocks teacakes are definitely a special treat every time I have them: marshmallow-ey, chocolatey goodness. I like the sweet treats that kinda sweeten the tea as you drink it after, if that makes sense?
Though, usually, i’ll be having toast while tea is in order…as it’s usually breakfast or lunch time

I have never had a Tunnock before. It sounds amazing.

I agree tea is so easy to serve with breakfast or lunch.

Ha I’m never not drinking tea, so I guess my favorite food pairing is every food.

I like light snacks that don’t overwhelm the palette, especially if I’m having a green or delicate oolong. Macarons, matcha cookies, fresh fruit, chocolate, and dates are some of my go-tos. But very small portions as the calories can really add up with the amount of tea I consume. I will literally nibble on a single macaron over an entire gongfu session lol.

Small pieces of chocolate goes well with certain teas. I love sharp cheddar and various cheeses and crackers with black or smoky teas.
