Tea and cheese is as old as the world

The Swiss, known for their cheese-fondue, realized first that tea was perfect for the digestion when eating cheese. Pairing cheese and tea, as a gourmet part of the dinner, is brand new though.

The fun of tasting them together, finding gorgeous combinations and working on a perfect diet makes it so interesting.
