Tea Guide: Tasting Teas

Learn more about tasting tea and how to prepare it in various ways. This short guide is packed with little tidbits to help you better understand the tea world so you can find the teas on Foodzie you’ll enjoy most.

  • Tea has a far larger range of flavors than coffee. In fact, it’s said to be second only to wine in terms of its range of tastes.
  • Like wine, tea can be paired with all kinds of foods. Like coffee, it makes an exceptional after-dinner drink.
  • Tea cocktails are a fantastic alternative to drinks like Red Bull and vodka. You can make your own tea cocktails by infusing liquor with tea, making tea simple syrup or simply mixing tea and spirits.
  • Most quality teas are so-called “self-drinkers” (teas that are great served straight up without a splash of milk or a sprinkle of sugar). Try teas from our producers and see if they turn you into a tea purist.
  • Forget about the train wreck of a masala chai tea you had at the coffee shop. With our chais, you determine the amount of milk/non-milk and sweetener in your cup and let the fresh tea and spices handle the task of making it delicious.
  • Tea can be used as an ingredient in all kinds of foods. Just search “tea” in our directory to see the tea-based treats our producers create.
