There’s something magical about the monsoon. The sound of raindrops, the cozy evenings, and of course, a steaming cup of tea to warm your soul. But what if we told you that your chai-time could get even more indulgent? Pairing Indian mithai with tea isn’t just delicious—it’s a match made in heaven. At Meethi, we believe every season deserves its perfect sweet companion, and the monsoon is no exception.

Here’s a guide to the best mithai and tea pairings that will make your rainy-day moments unforgettable.

1. Besan Laddoo with Masala Chai

Nothing beats the earthy richness of a classic Besan Laddoo alongside a strong cup of masala chai. The nutty, ghee-laden flavors of this timeless sweet balance beautifully with the spicy kick of ginger, cardamom, and cloves in your tea. This pairing is perfect for those evenings when you crave something comforting yet energizing.

2. Coconut Barfi with Green Tea

If you love something lighter but equally satisfying, pair our soft, melt-in-your-mouth Coconut Barfi with a soothing cup of green tea. The refreshing sweetness of coconut complements the subtle bitterness of green tea, creating a guilt-free indulgence. This duo is ideal for health-conscious sweet lovers who don’t want to compromise on taste.

3. Kaju Katli with Elaichi Chai

Flavorful and silky, Kaju Katli pairs well with the fragrant undertones of elaichi (cardamom) tea. The creamy richness of cashews enhances the warm spice of cardamom, making every bite and sip feel royal. It’s the perfect pairing when you’re looking to celebrate a cozy evening indoors with something classic yet luxurious.

4. Assorted Mithai Box with Cutting Chai

Rainy days in India are incomplete without roadside cutting chai, and what better sweet to pair with it than an Assorted Mithai Box? With a mix of classic mithais, this box brings variety to your monsoon tea time. The flaky, nutty, and rich flavors perfectly balance the strong and milky taste of chai, giving you the true nostalgic “chai and mithai” experience. Keep an Assorted Mithai Box handy at home for spontaneous rainy-day gatherings with family and friends.

5. Khajoor Barfi with Black Tea

For those who prefer something naturally sweet, Khajoor Barfi made with dates and dry fruits is a wholesome treat. To counterbalance the sweetness and enhance the flavor, pair it with strong, powerful black tea. This duo is also a great post-meal monsoon indulgence without feeling too heavy.

6. Milk Cake with Ginger Tea

The dense, caramelized goodness of Milk Cake pairs beautifully with the zing of adrak (ginger) tea. Your palette is both refreshed and satiated as the richness of the mithai is sliced through by the spicy warmth of the ginger. This pairing is especially perfect on a chilly, rainy morning.

Why Mithai & Tea Pairings Work So Well

Tea has always been India’s go-to beverage for relaxation, while mithai has been at the heart of our celebrations. Pairing snacks together during the monsoon elevates the experience—sweetness balancing spice, richness complementing warmth. At Meethi, we craft mithai with fresh ingredients and authentic recipes, making them the perfect companion for your tea rituals.
