5 Things You Shouldn’t Combine With Tea
Tea is a beverage loved by millions around the world. Its different flavors, rich history, and various health benefits make it an essential decision for countless tea lovers. However, there are some things not to combine with tea. In this article, we will talk about 5 things you shouldn’t combine with tea.
5 Things You Shouldn’t Combine With Tea
1. Spicy Foods
One of the fundamental principles of tea is avoid pairing tea, especially delicate varieties like green or white tea, with spicy foods. Flavors have a potent and robust character that can easily overshadow the subtle flavors of these teas, leading to an unfortunate clash on your palate. Imagine tasting a delicate white tea and then taking a bite of a searing bean stew pepper – it’s a culinary dissonance that’s best avoided.
2. Citrus Fruits
While a cut of lemon is a typical addition to black tea, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution for all tea types. The citric acid present in citrus fruits can sour the proteins in milk, and if you add a dash of dairy to your tea, it might result in an undesirable texture. Therefore, it’s wise to practice caution while contemplating adding lemon or other citrus fruits to your tea, especially if milk is part of your favored tea meal.
3. Sugary Treats
Tea is a reviving and relatively low-calorie beverage, celebrated for its natural, earthy notes. When you pair it with sugary treats like donuts, treats, or cakes, you risk overshadowing the tea’s intrinsic taste. High sugar content can be a palate monopolizer. Thus, it’s best to keep the sugary extravagances separate from your tea ritual.
4. Dairy with Herbal Tea
Herbal teas often boast subtle and soothing flavors that are extraordinarily their own. Adding dairy, like milk or cream, can overpower these gentle herbal notes and render the combination less enjoyable. To completely appreciate the spices’ therapeutic and aromatic properties, it’s wise to opt for herbal teas without milk-based additives.

5. Don’t Mix Different Tea Types
Each type of tea being black, green, oolong, and herbal offers its own one of a kind characteristics that might be of some value. At the point when you mix these different tea types together, you risk creating a mixed flavor profile that doesn’t do justice to any of the individual teas. Therefore, it’s advisable to drink each type of tea all alone.
