Stronger umami flavored teas (Matcha) go well with seafood. Floral green teas (Jasmine) are great with spicy food, potatoes and spicy desserts like carrot cake. Mint green teas are excellent with nuts. Oolong Teas Flavor: complex and roasty Oolongs pair well with herbed dishes, smoked cheeses and meats, light breads and butter, and fruity desserts.
