I've been on a tea kick for a while. There were a bunch discounted from Christmas. Bigelow's Ginger Snappish herbal tea is very nice. Twinings lemon ginger is just way too strong to the point of burning.

Back on point, I've dipped in Walker's shortbread biscuits, those are nice. I have also found these French Petit Ecolier milk chocolate biscuits, very nice. Any other suggestions?
 
I'm not too much of a dunker, but rich tea biscuits are the goat of tea dunking biscuits 🙏 digestives (plain and half coated) are also pretty good. These are quite generic chii though so they probably won't help too much

I know some old people who would dip sandwiches in their tea. I would not personally recommend it, but whatever floats your boat
 
I liked those big and rond tea cookies my great grandma gave me as a child, not sure they still exist. Otherwise, madeleines are very good, I recommend the plain ones first.

Also ginger snaps and oatmeal cookies.
 
I've recently discovered the joy of putting raw honeycomb in jasmine tea and then spooning the honeycomb out and eating it. Shame it's a rare treat though considering how expensive honeycomb is.

Love love love soaking biscoff or Milano cookies in hot chocolate or coffee, though that's not tea.
 
I like dipping cookies in tea, even though I normally just drink tea by itself. I think sandwich cookies are my favorites to have alongside tea, though I also like flour and sesame cookies as well.

Completely agree with you, biscoff is so good in hot drinks. Looking back, I do believe I've had some with tea before and it was quite nice. Coffee is definitely better to dip them into, but tea was grand as well
 
I don't really drink tea so it's not like I can give you options that aren't generic like biscuits, cookies, ect. I know my granny loved tea and would always have them with biscoff cookies and Pepperidge Farm cookies, biscuits, and those sticks...I think they're called pirouettes? I think milano cookies and chessman were ones she had a lot.
 
I like dipping sandwich cookies in my teas. The maple leaf creme cookies are really nice with darjeeling. My favorites tend to be the fruit filling types though.
 
Doughnuts, toast, cookies... Pretty much any pastry that could fit into a cup lol. Though I only do this with coffee, I drink my tea as is.
I have to say, I've never heard of toast being dunked in tea or coffee, but I feel like I shouldn't be surprised since I've seen s a handful of people dip sandwiches in their cups. Do you typically use a specific type of bread, or does any kind work?

People dip their fries in ice cream. I don't drink tea, but depending on what type I'm sure donuts, cookies, and bread can be very nice.

I don't know anyone else who does this, but I got it from my dad (who got it from his dad lol). Putting peanut butter on the toast before dipping it is great!

I'm sure just about any sliced bread would work, but we only eat brown and whole wheat bread.

I've dipped a chocolate chip cookie in black coffee, and I liked that. Toast with butter, sugar, and cinnamon on it would compliment that about the same.
 
I've never dipped any biscuits, cookies, or any other foods into tea. I just find the tea to be sufficient on its own. It's a nice little relaxing treat.

Might try it sometime though, we'll see.
 
As someone with Asian heritage, I don’t dip anything in tea. It just isn’t part of the culture. We tend to enjoy tea as it is and some will add a bit of sugar to their tea but it’s more about appreciating the tea leaves themselves and the freshness and time of the year also affects how good the tea will be.
