Plan a Bridgerton<\/i>-themed watch party around these suggestions from a British dairy expert<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dearest gentle reader, <\/span>Bridgerton <\/span><\/i>is back for its highly anticipated fourth season in which ton-favorite Benedict Bridgerton may indeed meet his match. There\u2019s only one genteel way to celebrate the return of Shonda Rhimes\u2019 sexy period drama: with a piping hot cuppa accompanied by some of <\/span>culture<\/b>\u2019s favorite British cheeses and a gaggle of friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost teas, especially black teas, have a lot of tannins\u2014the same as red wines,\u201d says Brian Wasik, owner and cheesemonger at Massachusetts\u2019 Wasik\u2019s Cheese Shop, <\/span>when asked about having tea and cheese together for our Spring 2025 issue<\/span><\/a>. \u201cTannins come from leaves, seeds, buds, and tree bark. This astringency often plays a perfect foil to rich, creamy cheese\u2014the same as acid appreciates fat when pairing beverages with cheese.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a U.K. twist on the topic, we\u2019ve tapped Victor Willis, Vice President of Great Britain\u2019s Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board. \u201cTerritorials predominated during the Regency era,\u201d he says. \u201cThis was also the era when tea became more ritualized.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queue up Netflix and break out the fine china while browsing Willis\u2019 recommendations. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earl Grey + Clothbound West Country Cheddar<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBergamot citrus lifts the cheddar\u2019s dense savory core while black tea tannins cleanse the palate. Notes of buttered toast and roasted nuts are sharpened by orange peel and dried florals, finishing clean and lifted,\u201d says Willis. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

English Breakfast Blend + Red Leicester<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMalty depth balances Red Leicester\u2019s gentle sweetness and crumbly texture,\u201d he says. \u201cCaramelized milk and nuttiness meet brisk tannin, evoking the comfort of toast with marmalade\u201d\u2014a British classic.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darjeeling (First Flush) + Lancashire<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFloral, spring-fresh Darjeeling complements Lancashire\u2019s lactic acidity and fresh butter notes,\u201d says Willis. \u201cMeadow flowers and muscat grape soften lemony tang for a restrained, elegant pairing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lapsang Souchong + Aged British Farmhouse Cheddar <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Willis says Lapsang Souchong<\/span><\/span> is defined by \u201cpine smoke, resin, and dried wood.\u201d \u201c[Lapsang Souchong] demands a cheese with depth, savory concentration, and firmness,” he adds. “A well-aged British farmhouse cheddar provides the necessary structure: firm texture, crystalline crunch, and a flavor profile that leans into umami and caramel rather than lactic freshness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masala Chai + Stilton<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWarm spice meets salt and richness. Cardamom, cinnamon, clove, and black tea malt soften Stilton\u2019s savory depth, creating a harmonious blend of sweet spice and salty cream with a long, enveloping finish,\u201d Willis says. Wasik seconds the pairing. \u201cThis sounds counterintuitive because we usually add milk to chai, and I wouldn\u2019t think that would work with a rich, creamy cheese,\u201d he says. \u201cHowever, the sweet, warm spice of chai tea really matches well with the salty overtones of this classic English blue.\u201d <\/span>Plus, blue happens to be the Bridgerton family’s signature color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afternoon Tea Blend + Caerphilly<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A perfect choice for the park strolling scenes when characters and their mamas gossip. \u201cA lighter black tea allows Caerphilly\u2019s clean lactic tang and crumbly texture to shine. Soft florals and gentle tannin refresh the palate, making this an ideal teatime pairing,\u201d says Willis. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assam Tea (With Milk) + Mature Cheddar <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the queen declares her diamond for the season, serve mature cheddar and Assam tea. \u201cAs cheddar matures, it develops salt, savory depth, and sharper acidity,\u201d Willis says. \u201cAssam\u2014traditionally taken with milk\u2014has the weight and malty richness to meet that intensity without overpowering it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gunpowder Green Tea + Wensleydale<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHerbal bitterness and mineral notes balance Wensleydale\u2019s fresh acidity and honeyed milk character, resulting in a crisp, structured pairing,\u201d Willis says. An excellent combination for when the two main characters inevitably overcome their flimsy arguments and realize they should indeed be together. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ceylon Black Tea + Cheshire <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBright citrus notes and brisk tannin balance Cheshire\u2019s crumbly texture, lactic tang, and saline snap, finishing clean and highly drinkable,\u201d says Willis. In other words: a tea and cheese made for binge watching. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light Afternoon Tea Blend + White Stilton With Mango & Ginger <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For blue cheese lovers looking for another way to imbibe tea with classic Stilton, try this. \u201cTropical fruit and gentle spice are grounded by soft malt and clean tannin,\u201d says Willis, \u201cpreventing excess sweetness while preserving warmth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
