Spring 2025

ight & Fresh

• Citrus-marinated shrimp or seared scallops — the tea’s grapefruit and guava notes echo the bright citrus while cleansing the palate.

• Spring rolls with mint and basil — the roasted warmth of the tea balances the herbal crispness.

• Avocado toast with lemon zest — the buttery texture contrasts nicely with the tea’s brisk finish.

Savory & Umami

• Goat cheese or feta salads — the tang pairs well with the tea’s grassy, slightly sweet character.

• Sushi or sashimi — especially white fish or tuna; the roasted undertone mirrors the subtle smokiness of Japanese teas.

• Lightly grilled vegetables like asparagus, snap peas, or zucchini.

Sweet Pairings

• Citrus shortbread or lemon olive oil cake — gentle sweetness enhances the guava and grapefruit tones.

• Coconut macarons — the tea’s green vibrancy lifts the richness of coconut.

• Fresh fruit tart with kiwi or mango.
