This time, we’re excited to share some delightful tea and cookie pairings to make your Christmas even more special. Let’s dive in and find your perfect match! 🍪☕

✨ Our Top Holiday Tea & Cookie Pairings

1. Spiced Gingerbread + Masala Chai

Brew your chai strong (4-5 minutes) to create magic! The warming embrace of cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves in your chai creates a perfect harmony with spicy gingerbread cookies. Pro tip: Add a splash of warm milk to enhance the cozy factor.

2. Buttery Shortbread + Earl Grey

Steep your Earl Grey for 3 minutes to release those perfect bergamot notes. The citrusy brightness cuts through buttery shortbread like a gentle winter sunrise, creating a pairing that's both sophisticated and comforting. Perfect for when you're wrapping presents!

3. Chocolate Chip Cookies + Peppermint Tea

Allow your peppermint tea to steep for 5 minutes for maximum refreshment. This combination is like a cool winter breeze meeting warm melted chocolate – absolutely divine! The mint cleanses your palate between bites, making each cookie taste like the first.

4. Classic Sugar Cookies + Jasmine Green Tea

A light 2-minute steep is all you need. Watch as the delicate floral notes of jasmine dance with the sweet simplicity of sugar cookies. This pair brings a touch of springtime freshness to winter afternoons.

5. Peanut Butter Blossoms + Rooibos

Give your rooibos a full 7 minutes to develop its rich flavor. The naturally sweet, nutty notes of rooibos create a perfect foundation for enjoying these beloved holiday treats. Bonus: Rooibos is caffeine-free, making it perfect for evening cookie cravings!
