Caramel Cheesecake Black Tea from 52teas

Azzrian drank Caramel Cheesecake Black Tea by 52teas

Wow cool – I’m the first to review this one. I don’t think I get a wizzo button for that or anything but its still kinda cool. :)
This is definitely not lacking in the caramel flavor department and as I have said before Frank knows how to make the cheesecake blends outstanding so it was a no brainer to order this when I saw it go on sale!
Creamy cheesecake goodness with plenty of yummy caramel in a nice black base that stands out as well.
Way to go Frank! Keep the delicious creations coming!
I will say that as this cools it becomes a little bitter but I was not planning on it cooling – you know things happen – distractions take over and before you know it your nice hot yummy dessert tea is getting an attitude because you neglected it.
It happens.
I don’t know if I would want this iced or cold brewed as it is so delicious hot but I am sure that it would be good – I think it was just accidentally allowing it to cool at room temp that caused the bitterness.
I have had two cups today hot and it was perfection!
Every cheesecake blend I have had from 52 Teas has been amazing!
I hope he brings back Cherry Cheesecake Genmaicha!!
Anyway if you love caramel and you love cheesecake GET SOME! As of right now there are only 5 left on his site!

Azzrian 2012-08-31 00:48:30 -0400

Its quite decadent!

Kittenna 2012-08-31 02:09:51 -0400

Blah, this is one I want. I will hope that when I have time to swap again, someone will still have some left.

Azzrian 2012-08-31 03:42:27 -0400

I can send some your way if you want … pm me your address again though as I would have to dig around to find it and Im that lazy. :)

Sil 2012-08-31 08:36:53 -0400

I’ve got an order of this coming as well Kittena :) the other half let me have it cause i told him it would sell out fast fast fast! (not that it has but whatever)

Frolic 2012-08-31 11:38:57 -0400

This sounds wonderful. Mine can’t get here soon enough

Kittenna 2012-08-31 11:44:39 -0400

Azzrian – thanks, but I think I’ll hold off on the offer for now! I’ll try to nab some of Sil’s when we meet up again, but if not, I’ll take my chances that some swap partner in the future has some left :) So much tea…

Azzrian 2012-08-31 12:13:16 -0400

Cool cool :)

I’m always willing to take tea off eceryone’s hands. I have a long weekend with which i’m predicting that I can get through almost all of the crazy samples that i’ve received from Azz, Kittena and indigo lol not to mention the stuff i ordered.

Sil 2012-09-06 14:01:54 -0400

oh Azz was going to ask how you’ve been steeping this. I’m hoping mine will come SOOOOOOON and want to start out right.

Azzrian 2012-09-06 14:06:32 -0400

Uhhh I don’t know if I would say I did it “right” lol BUT I did it at 208 as that is what my zojirushi was set at. for 3 minutes. :)

Sil 2012-09-06 14:10:40 -0400

it’s probably my only complaint in so far as franks teas go (though i’m sure someone will tell me that i’ve just missed something) but I wish that the entries for his teas had a recommended steeping time and temperature. I’m relatively new to his teas but unless someone on steepster has indicated what they did, i’ve got to just try any guess…

Azzrian 2012-09-06 14:16:05 -0400

As far as I know Frank does not have recommendations on his teas anywhere or his site so I start with traditional brewing temps and times and adjust as needed from there.

Sil 2012-09-06 14:50:08 -0400

Azzrian – good to know i’m not just missing it somewhere. Maybe I can message him to harass him into including his reocmmendations when he adds teas to steepster. It appears at one point (looking at older entries) he had times on his packaging
