One of our favorite ways to entertain is by hosting a pairings party. We sample our teas with many other foods to find fun and unique pairings. When done well, a pairing will elevate individual flavors into a harmonious choir.

The inspiration behind this pairing is a caramel apple pie. Close your eyes and imagine smelling the delicious buttery crust, warm apples, and sweet caramel lingering in the air as your pie bakes in the oven. You can experience these flavors through this inventive pairing. Start by brewing our Olivia Caramel Black Tea. Her delicious aroma will fill the air with malty sweetness. Next, slice wedges of Cabot Cloth-bound Cheddar cheese, topping it with rich apple butter. Here we've used local favorite Tait Farm Foods Apple Butter. Our Olivia Earl Grey Tea Cookies provide just the right amount of sweet and savory with orange zest and smoky bergamot. The melody throughout this pairing is the caramel finish, sure to keep your guests coming back for seconds!

olivia and sugarfina

We. Love. Candy. Many of our favorites are from Sugarfina, a chic candy boutique and online shop. We value the same things: exceptional ingredients, gorgeously giftable packaging, and of course, great taste! The single-scoop gummy Ice Cream Cones melt in your mouth with a satisfyingly-smooth taste of berries atop vanilla waffle cone. Their creamy finish is the perfect pair for our malty and sweet Olivia Caramel Black Tea. Treat yourself to this delicious duo all year round!
