Lala drank Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish Black Tea by 52teas

871 tasting notes

From the Bestsellers Sampler.

This one smells strongly, strongly of blueberry. There are dried blueberries mixed in the tea.

The brewed tea initially tasted weird to me. At first I was thinking there was something wrong or just different in the black tea base that pretty consistent in the 52 teas blends. But as it cooled a bit I realized what I was tasting was the cream cheese taste. There is a light blueberry taste. It is definitely not as strong as it smells. The cream cheese hits towards the end the sip and lingers a bit in the aftertaste. The tea liquor feels thick and creamy. I am maybe getting a few hints of pastry, but not too much.

This one is definitely better and more flavourful as it starts to cool.

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
