Pizzelle x Oriental Collection Caramel Dream

Pizzelle, originating from Italy, are delicate cookies with subtle crispiness, often flavoured with anise or vanilla, resembling waffles. Pairing them with the Caramel Dream tea from the Oriental Collection adds a creamy richness of caramel, enhancing the Easter indulgence without overwhelming the gentle sweetness of the pizzelle. This sugar-free tea creates an elegant, palatable combination, offering a delightful culinary experience reminiscent of a dreamy paradise.

 

Easter Bread x Fruit Infusions Blood Orange

Pairing it with the Blood Orange blend from the Fruit Infusions collection adds a refreshing burst of citrusy delight, enhancing the richness of the bread without overwhelming it. The zesty notes of blood orange create a harmonious fusion of flavours, elevating your Easter feast to a new level of sensory delight.

 


Hot Cross Buns x Magic Fruits Mango Pineapple

Pairing them with the Mango and Pineapple tea from the Magic Fruits range adds a refreshing twist with exotic flavours, like ripe mango and tangy pineapple, balancing the warm spices of the buns. This harmonious fusion of fruity tea and aromatic buns will elevate your Easter brunch to a tropical paradise of flavours.

 

Babka x Black Essence Chocolate Mint

Babka, a sweet bread from Eastern Europe, is a decadent treat for Easter, featuring layers of chocolate, cinnamon, or fruit.

This combination creates a harmonious balance of textures and flavours, making it an ideal Easter treat.
