This one comes from TastyBrew! I figured I’d brew some of this up as a little celebration of being done with midterms!
This one smells heavenly! I love cheesecake and I love blueberries, and both of these aspects are present in the smell. The cheesecake aspect is dead on…I have no idea how they managed that, but it’s so good. There is also a buttery scent which is delightful! The blueberry is nice and sweet smelling, and the green base adds to this sweetness while providng a slight vegetal scent. I want to eat this tea!
Taste: The first steep was very sweet and creamy. Nice buttery notes, as well as cream cheese notes. Yum! The blueberry is very light here, but the notes I’m picking up are sweet and fresh! The vegetal aspect of the green tea is also subtle, and adds an interesting aspects to the flavor profile. Overall, I’d say this one is a win – it’s definately cheesecake-y!
The second steep is rather diluted, and definately more green tea based than the previous one. The blueberry seems absent here, but the cream cheese/cheesecake aspect is still present. This one is more savory than sweet.
Thanks again, TastyBrew for sending this nice blend my way! I’m really enjoying it!
Wow, these both sound totally delicious! That’s a tough one.
I love “Parisian Sparkling Wine” (Dethlefsen & Balk catalogue blend carried by many, including Angry Tea Room). One of my all-time favorite teas (though I sipped it down some time ago and haven’t had a chance to restock it yet…)
Yep, you sending me some of this in the past inspired me to buy it from Tealyra, Mastress Alita!
Oh and it looks like Necessiteas also has the blend: Strawberry Rose Champagne. And I want to try ALLLL the Necessiteas blends… but it doesn’t look like they have Blueberry Cheesecake anymore.
I’m 100% alcohol intolerant now because of my migraines (even foods that undergo similar fermentation like kombucha get to me!) but long, long ago, I would drink with my (now sober!) sister, and putting frozen strawberries in lieu of ice cubes into chilled white wine was a thing for us. This tea took me right back to that as far as flavor.
Yeah, I was never really a drinker of alcohol, mainly because even a sip would basically just give me a headache.
