Often, a green tea will highlight citrusy notes in whisky. The result is a refreshing, breezy drink ideal for summer picnics and sultry evenings.

Is Green Tea good to drink?

Which tea is best for whiskey?
Tea is generally a good choice for whiskey because the whiskey’s boldness won’t overpower its delicate flavor. Though not all teas are created equal, some teas, such as Earl Grey, have strong flavors that can stand up to whiskey. Conversely, other teas, like green tea, are more delicate and may be overwhelmed by the whiskey’s flavor.
Does whiskey taste better than tea?
Although whiskey is quite flavorsome, it doesn’t dominate the flavor of tea. Combining whiskey and tea is like partnering wine and cheese — they both make the other ingredient taste better. Given that there are so many different teas and whiskeys available, the challenge is finding a combination that you enjoy.
