Enjoy Walker’s Shortbread with the Perfect Tea

Few things complement each other as well as shortbread and tea. Here are a few incredible Walker’s and tea pairings to enjoy at your next Afternoon Tea.

Walker’s Shortbread Fingers with Earl Grey 

Two classics come together for an incredible experience. The delicious, all-butter taste of our iconic Shortbread Fingers goes excellently with Earl Grey’s prime flavor of bergamot, a type of citrus fruit. This perfect combination of buttery shortbread and citrus fruit is enhanced with the delightful floral notes of Earl Grey. To enjoy this pairing to the fullest, we highly recommend dipping our Shortbread Fingers into the Earl Grey.

Walker’s Salted Caramel & Milk Chocolate Chunk Shortbread with Matcha 

Enjoying our Salted Caramel & Milk Chocolate Chunk Shortbread with matcha is an absolute must-try. When the two are paired, matcha’s earthy taste offsets the sweetness of our Salted Caramel & Milk Chocolate Chunk Shortbread’s delicious salted caramel, making for a perfect balance—all while the salted caramel elevates the overall flavor of matcha. And what makes this delicious balance even better is the added bonus of the shortbread’s mouthwatering chunks of Belgian chocolate. 

Walker’s Vanilla Shortbread with English Breakfast

When you pair our Vanilla Shortbread with English breakfast tea, wonderful things happen. The full body and rich flavor of English breakfast perfectly complements our Vanilla Shortbread’s sweet taste of vanilla, bringing on an incredible combination of flavors. As this pairing’s flavors harmonize in a remarkable way, you’ll find further enjoyment in the perfect balance that our Vanilla Shortbread's lighter texture brings to the malty undertones of English breakfast.

Walker’s Chocolate Chip Shortbread with Rooibos Tea

Combining our Chocolate Chip Shortbread with rooibos tea makes for such a great pairing, even milk is jealous of it. Rooibos tea, an herbal tea with a sweet and slightly nutty taste, pairs incredibly well with the generous helpings of the dark-chocolate chips found in our Chocolate Chip Shortbread. On top of that, the lusciousness of our Chocolate Chip Shortbread’s dark chocolate also elevates the richness of rooibos tea, to bring this pairing to perfection.
