Crowkettle drank Chestnut Cream Cheese Danish Green Tea by 52teas

1445 tasting notes

2nd Tea of Christmas 2022

I was a little concerned, because the green tea smells vegetal under the scrumptious chestnut cream aroma. However, while it still is vaguely vegetal to taste, the flavouring all comes together once steeped up and allowed to cool. It’s so buttery and creamy; that alone gets me onboard. The chestnut flavouring is merely the icing on the cake – along with the actual light cream cheese flavour, of course!

Now, I’m off to immediately try out a second steep.

Steep Count: 2 – the second steep is good too. The cream cheese seems to pop out even more; possibly, because of the short length of the first steep?

Flavors: Butter, Chestnut, Cream, Creamy, Nutty, Smooth, Sweet, Sweet Potatoes, Tangy, Umami, Vegetal

Preparation

175 °F / 79 °C 2 min, 0 sec

I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed this one. I was really happy that it came out the way I wanted it to. (There’s always just that little apprehensive fear when it comes time to test a tea!)

I’m glad this is a green tea, because if it were on any other base I would have had to break my no-buy instantly!

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

My favourites are teas like Milk Oolong, Silver Needle,and Japanese Sencha/Gyokuro, or fruity and floral flavoured ones. However, I generally enjoy ALL the teas, including a good old cup of Earl Grey or Breakfast blend.

Subjective Rating System:
I don’t give a lot of low ratings out, since a) I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me, and b) I don’t have a lot of strong dislikes.

90-100: Favourites. The Desert Island Teas.
80-89: Loved teas. Possibly staple-worthy.
70-79: Good teas, but I’m less likely to repurchase. Minor quibbles.
60-69: Ok teas. Likely a few preference and/or quality issues.
50-59: Cup of meh. Will do in a pinch.
11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea.
1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, an unholy abomination. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
