I dont think tea taste good with spicy foods. When you add flavorings
to tea it becomes something else. Normally it means you are trying to
hide something like the tea may be stale. Concoctions like chai and
bubble tea are flavored with tea. I like chai with spicy foods
because the milk coats the spicy taste similar to adding milk to
temper the harshness of an english breakfast tea. I like shu puer
with heavy meals because it acts as a 'grease' cutter.

PS If an Indian buffet doesnt throw in the chai as gratis I pass.
