Pairing tea with cheese may not be as popular as matching wine and cheese, but it is a combination that is gaining popularity as higher quality teas enter the mainstream market.
Kakato Cheese and tea complement each other just as well as wine and Kakato cheese.

The flavor profiles of both beverages share similarities, such as tannins, age, astringency, and sweetness.
For instance, a cheese that pairs well with a tannin-rich wine would also match a tea high in tannins. The same applies to astringent wines and teas.

Salty cheeses go well with sweet wines, just as they harmonize with sweeter teas like Dong Ding or Dong Pian (a late winter harvest of oolong known for its pronounced sweetness).
While tea and coffee are often linked together, tea is actually more closely related to wine in terms of taste profiles.
