What goes with Oolong Tea?
Oolong covers partially oxidised tea styles with widely different degrees of oxidation and roast. Its strained infusion is principally water carrying tea taste and aroma, not a naturally creamy liquid. The reference here is an unscented, moderately roasted style. Some fruit applications use a lighter floral oolong explicitly, while ground tea used in pastry contributes leaf particles as well as flavour.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Oolong Tea?
Honey and ripe orchard fruit can extend oolong's softer notes, while milk rounds a roasted style into a mellow cream or custard. More savoury constructions can use its toasted character against pork or whole grains. Match the tea style to the application before adjusting quantity: a heavily roasted brew will dominate lychee, whereas a very floral tea may disappear beside browned meat.
