A simple pairing cheat sheet
| Beverage | Best biscotti match | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Chamomile tea | Cranberry Pistachio | Gentle apple notes meet tart cranberry and nutty pistachio. |
| Medium roast coffee | Almond | Toasted almond flavor plays perfectly with cacao and brown spice undertones. |
| Late-harvest Riesling | Chocolate Orange Almond | Citrus and chocolate pop, and the wine brings a honeyed finish. |
| Cold milk | Chocolate Almond | Classic comfort pairing, great late-night snack energy. |
Tea + biscotti
When it comes to biscotti and tea, some people think it is an unlikely duo. They could not be more wrong. Take our Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti, for example. The tart cranberry and whole pistachios pair beautifully with the gentle apple note of chamomile tea. Sip chamomile, take a bite, and you will see why this is a fan favorite afternoon reset.
Want something a little brighter? Try green tea with Cranberry Pistachio, or black tea with a classic like Almond Biscotti.
Coffee + biscotti
More of a coffee person? No problem. Our Almond Biscotti is the perfect partner for your morning cup of Joe. The rich flavor of roasted almonds and amaretto pairs beautifully with the cacao, brown spice, and stone fruit undertones of a Tanzania-style roast coffee.
If you are serving guests, put out a plate of mixed flavors and let people choose their vibe. The easiest way to do that is the Hampton Trio, since it covers classic, fruity-nutty, and rich chocolate in one go.
Wine + biscotti
For a glass of wine with your biscotti, go classic Italian style. Our Chocolate Orange Almond Biscotti is a perfect dip for a late-harvest wine like Riesling. The nutty and citrus notes work with the wine’s sweetness for a smooth, balanced finish.
Milk + biscotti
And then there is the classic pairing of Chocolate Almond Biscotti and milk. It is hard to deny the near-universal appeal of this combo. There is just nothing better than enjoying a chocolate almond cookie with a cold glass of milk late at night.
