This is a time of celebration, centered around ushering out the old year and bringing forth luck and prosperity in the new one. To honor this special holiday, we wanted to share our tea picks, perfect for celebrating Lunar New Year 2022!
The Lunar New Year features a long list of rice cakes and rice balls that vary from region to region. But all agree that rice entrees, snacks, and desserts are a must! Puer is a popular tea to pair with heavier dishes such as dumplings, spring rolls, and longevity noodles.
