Contrasting the flavor of the tea with the item being eaten is often beneficial. I am not a big fan of the Thompson seedless grapes (sultanas), but when I have them with a nice cup of Lapsang Souchong all is well in the world! I had some nice Silver Needle with Osmanthus tea that seemed to go well with Ruby red grapes and champagne grapes, which I think has to do with the slightly sharp bight of the Osmanthus flowers.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778799254184107939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825055425170299721.post-76242385676311307042011-10-29T12:04:07.754-04:002011-10-29T12:04:07.754-04:00Nicole of Tea for Me Please reviewed this tea some...Nicole of Tea for Me Please <a href="http://www.teaformeplease.com/2010/06/naivetea-yuzu-oolong.html" rel="nofollow">reviewed this tea</a> some time ago, and I remember reading about it.<br /><br />It's intriguing, especially given how I've found grapefruit does not go well with many teas. I have yet to try anything from NaiveTea, but from what I've read, they really excel at flavored oolongs, a strange and difficult niche but one that has the potential to be very fulfilling--one of my favorite teas is an <a href="http://ratetea.net/tea/upton/osmanthus-oolong-se-chung/1563/" rel="nofollow">Osmanthus-scented oolong from Upton Tea</a>.Alex Zorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335878680429494039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825055425170299721.post-83159327635644027242011-10-29T10:55:02.297-04:002011-10-29T10:55:02.297-04:00Thank you for the post I"m always interested ...Thank you for the post I"m always interested in tea and food pairings.<br />I got a gift from a friend which is labeled Yuzu Oolong it has the scent of grapefruit and a slight flavor of the fruit also.
