Teaholic: Your One‑Stop Spot for Tea Advice

If you love tea, you’ve landed in the right place. This tag gathers every post that helps you enjoy tea better, whether you’re curious about old tea, looking for pairing ideas, or planning a tea tasting at home.

First, let’s talk about old tea. Many people wonder if a ten‑year‑old bag is still safe to drink. Our article "Is It Safe to Drink 10‑Year‑Old Tea?" breaks down storage rules, flavor changes, and the real risks. You’ll learn how to tell if tea has gone bad and what to do with tea that’s still good.

Next up, tea tastings. Hosting a tasting can feel fancy, but it’s actually simple. In "What to Serve at a Tea Tasting", we list the best teas, snacks, and setup tricks. From pairing buttery scones with a smooth Darjeeling to serving salty crackers with a bold Assam, the guide shows you how to balance flavors without overthinking.

Quick Tips for Everyday Tea Lovers

Want to upgrade your daily brew? Try these three habits:

• Store tea in a cool, dark place. Light and heat ruin flavor fast.
• Measure by weight, not scoops. A gram of loose leaf gives a consistent taste.
• Rinse the leaves once before steeping. This washes away dust and opens up the aroma.

These steps cost nothing but make a noticeable difference.

Pairing Tea with Food Made Easy

Tea and food work together the same way wine and cheese do. Light teas like green or white match well with fresh fruits, salads, and mild cheeses. Darker teas such as black or oolong handle richer dishes like grilled meat, chocolate, or spiced desserts. The key is to match the strength of the tea with the intensity of the food.

For a quick test, sip your tea, then take a bite of the dish. If the flavors blend and you can still taste both, you’ve found a good match. If one overpowers the other, try a lighter tea or a milder bite.

Our tag also includes articles on non‑alcoholic drinks, so if you want to mix tea with mocktails, you’ll find recipes that keep the tea flavor front and center. Think iced tea with fresh mint, a splash of citrus, and a dash of honey for a refreshing mocktail.

Finally, remember that tea is personal. What works for a friend might not work for you. Use the guides here as a starting point, then experiment. Change the steep time, try a different water temperature, or add a pinch of spice. The best part of being a teaholic is discovering what you love.
