Thanksgiving Tea Pairing Guide
Similar to wine, teas offer a variety of complex flavors that pair beautifully with foods, especially those found on a dining room table during the holidays. Tea tends to pair especially well with foods that have starch, butter or sugar elements, so serving tea is a natural accompaniment for a customary Thanksgiving dinner.

In Chinese tea culture, qi (pronounced as chi) is a phrase used amongst tea connoisseurs that refers to a tea’s energy or life force. It’s believed the energy stems from the innate character of the tea, depending on several factors: where it’s grown, how its grown, how its processed and the age of the tea plant itself.
