Is there anything more British than dunking a biscuit into a cuppa? Sinking into the sofa with a cup of tea is something we look forward to daily. It's a ritual. A habit. And so ingrained in our culture, that one of the first things most Brits do when they return home from holiday is pop on the kettle, and reach for the biscuit tin.

If you want to take your dunking up a notch - maybe for afternoon tea - watch our expert suggestions for pairing Great British Food Award-winning biscuits from Tiptree Patisserie, New Forest Shortbread and Sweet FA with a variety of teas.

You'll learn:

 - The best tea for lavender and herbal biscuits

 - The best tea for citrussy and lemon biscuits

 - The best tea for nutty biscuits

Happy dunking!
