Tea Pairs for Spring Afternoon Tea

Earl Gray Tea: Dessert

Earl Gray Tea is one of the best known black tea blends in the world. With its fruity and even sweet citrusy flavor, it pairs beautifully with the sweets course.

Lavender Tea is a common Afternoon Tea selection. And is often used as ingredients for scones, sweets, and other baked goods. 

Oolong Tea: Salty and Savory Course
