Hands on in experiencing the tea pairing with Earle Swensen's Chips ‘n’ Slaw Sandwich - love the cheese toasted bread. We were given two small cups of tea to pair it with, Peppermint and English Breakfast tea. I prefer the latter as I find the peppermint over power the savoury food.
Learn how to pair your food with tea, with a simple guide below:
White tea - delicate food
Green tea - salads, seafood and fried food
Black tea - sweet and rich savoury
Oolong tea - sweet, snacks and cakes
After a short presentation, I understand that there’s
even a “formula” for brewing your tea, such as the water temperature, amount of
water and how many minutes later should the tea bag be removed. Dilmah teas comes with instructions at the back of the box or sachet.
Swensen’s Special Ice Cream Cake paired with Dilmah Expectional teas:
Ceylon Green Tea - a pale yellow infusion tinged
with olive highlights. A pleasantly gentle tea with a lightly sweet finish.
Elegant Earl Grey - a bold and bright single
region Ceylon tea, balanced by the floral and fruity flavour of bergamot
creating a refreshing and delightful medium strength Earl Grey.

Research has shown that tea are actually very beneficial, it fights heart disease, cancer, diabetes, ageing and oral health. Natural plant derived foods generally contain antioxidants although the antioxidants in green and black tea are much greater than levels found in fruits and vegetables. As a general rule, two cups of tea are equivalent in antioxidant capacity, to five portions of fruit or vegetables.
