With Easter around the corner and the Easter eggs stacking up ready to eat, I thought a post on the right tea to drink with your chocolate might go down well.

You can look for tea/chocolate pairings that share similar flavour characteristics, thereby enhancing one another. You can also find very satisfying combinations where the flavors of the tea and chocolate contrast.

• Earthypu-erh teas+ bright, floral dark chocolates
