The nutty nuances and dry finish of our Saicho Hojicha sparkling tea makes it an ideal pairing for small plates of spiced sauteed prawns or seared scallops. The complex, smoky tasting notes of our award-winning Hojicha sparkling tea also harmonizes well with the umami flavour in a fish starter, such as a smoked salmon salad or sea bass fillet.

Mains: Roasted Meat or Vegetables with Saicho Darjeeling Sparkling Tea

For your main course, consider enhancing a classic Sunday roast by pairing it with our Saicho Darjeeling sparkling tea. Hearty, rich dishes like roasted lamb or pork belly pair beautifully with the distinctive citrus, muscatel notes of Saicho Darjeeling. For more vegetarian-friendly dishes, you can try a flavourful combination of roasted beetroot and asparagus, or a delightful mix of roasted parsnip and carrot. Our Saicho Darjeeling sparkling tea also elegantly complements the indulgent richness of roasted dishes, making it an ideal choice for a traditional Easter Sunday celebration.

Dessert: Creamy, Decadent Desserts with Saicho Jasmine Sparkling Tea

As you savour the festive flavours of Easter, add a touch of sophistication and sweetness to Easter celebration.
