Pairing Tea and Food — Pomegranate Vanilla Scones and Sencha Tea

Scones are arguably the most popular component of a traditional afternoon tea. It’s a rare tea room review that we receive at TeaGuide that does not reference the scones served – whether they were too small or too large, too hard or too doughy, or happily just right.
