Pairing tea with food: what goes with tuna and root beer?

Today we had a light lunch of tuna on lettuce leaves with a glass of root beer. Immediately afterward my wife said she really wanted some tea.

I asked "But what kind of tea goes with tuna and root beer?"

Wouldn't you know it, she found the perfect pairing. Iron Silk Puerh, a ripe pu-erh with clove and licorice root. Ripe puerh tends to make me belch, and the root beer flavor indeed matched the iron silk spices, and the ripe puerh base goes well with fish of any sort.

I have yet to stump my wife on any unlikely tea/food pairing.
