I've had dinner and then had tea which ruined my tastes so I couldn't enjoy the tea. I'm curious if anyone here
does this. I've done it at tea houses that give you great cakes and scones but their tea was bad so I didn't care

I echo your sentiment, especially sweets are a terrible idea with tea, at least with expensive tea it’s a waste of a good thing.klepto wrote: ↑Tue Jul 28, 2020 8:36 pmAs I follow #puerh and #oolong on Instagram I've noticed people eating cupcakes and cookies with their tea.

Senbei is amazing, especially made freshly baked or grilled. I'm not sure what tea would go good with it.
Risking a cliche here, but you can't go wrong with sencha, or perhaps some lighter Chinese greens. I feel like the toasty senbei (or kakipi) needs a bright tea as a counterpoint. A nutty longjing would be delicious too.
i salute you!debunix wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 3:50 pmI have tea throughout the day. Infusions of sencha in the morning may take turns between sips of hot chocolate; midday sparkling green tea just now accompanied some cheese and crackers; office puerh may go with soup or stew for lunch, or be a welcome interlude in foodless paperwork.
I keep a little jar with tiny broken up bits of chocolate near my tea trays, so a nibble of dark chocolate often accompanies tea enjoyed without a meal.
