Dark Tea not only tastes good on its own, but when paired with other ingredients, the taste can vary. So, what goes well with dark tea that is both tasty and healthy?

01

Aged Tangerine Peel Dark Tea

Aged tangerine peel can regulate qi and strengthen the spleen, as well as aid digestion. Goji berries can cool and nourish the liver while boosting the immune system. When combined with dark tea, this makes for an excellent health drink. Especially in the hot summer months, it's a great choice for office workers who spend long hours in front of computers.

The preparation method is simple: using a Gaiwan brewing method, steep 8 grams of dark tea in boiling water, strain out the tea leaves, then add two pieces of aged tangerine peel and about 10 grams of goji berries to the tea soup. A cup of healthful and delicious aged tangerine peel and goji berry dark tea is ready.

02

Chrysanthemum Dark Tea

Chrysanthemums are slightly cold in nature, while dark tea is mild. The combination of the two complements each other's strengths. Particularly, the fresh aroma of chrysanthemums paired with the mellow taste of dark tea not only enhances the flavor but also combines their Health benefits.

The preparation method is also straightforward: while the dark tea soup is still hot, add two chrysanthemum flowers. You may also add a little rock sugar according to your taste. It's worth noting that chrysanthemum dark tea has excellent heat-clearing and detoxifying effects and is particularly suitable for those with a hot constitution.

03

Honey Dark Tea

Honey is known for its ability to treat various ailments and harmonize with other herbs. It has beneficial effects on beauty, anti-aging, and boosting immunity. Paired with the mild nature of dark tea and its notable stomach-protecting properties, it can offset the stimulating effect of honey on cold-prone stomachs. Long-term consumption can help cleanse the intestines, detoxify, and prevent colds.

The preparation method is not difficult; cool the dark tea soup to around 60 degrees Celsius, then add honey and mix well. Remember, do not use boiling water to mix honey as it will destroy the nutrients. Add the honey to the tea when it has cooled down to around 60°C (a temperature you can sip without burning your tongue), which preserves the best nutritional value. Additionally, you can add a small amount of chrysanthemum flowers according to personal preference, which, together with honey, can tonify the kidneys, clear febrile conditions, and improve eyesight.

04

Milk Dark Tea

Dark tea is renowned for its sweet aftertaste, leaving a lingering sweetness in the mouth after swallowing. Milk's unique creaminess complements the tea's aroma, making for a delightful taste experience.

The preparation method is simple: brew the tea traditionally, then combine the tea soup with milk at a 1:1 ratio to create a smooth and creamy milk tea. We recommend using whole milk or condensed milk for a richer flavor.

05

Fruit and Flower Tea

Fruit and flower tea, also known as fruit granule tea, can be made from various dried fruits and edible dried flowers. When mixed with dark tea, it significantly increases the content of fruit acids, vitamins, and minerals, providing benefits such as harmonizing the spleen and stomach, nourishing the intestines, and detoxifying and beautifying the skin.

Method: Take an appropriate amount of dried fruit and flowers (we recommend hibiscus, rose hips, orange peel, and apple slices) and brew them together with dark tea or boil them together. Dark tea has a mild nature and is one of the most inclusive types among the six major tea categories. It stands the test of time, accumulating character and composure, much like a reserved scholar who can embrace all things.

In the summer, you can brew a pot of dark tea and add some fruits and flowers. As the tea aroma spreads, it naturally captures the essence of nature.
