Blueberry Cheesecake

Thanks, Will Work For Tea!

I need one last tea before bed, I should probably get up and study a bit more early but there’s also the train. Apparently I should just be late to class all the time because the train after the one I usually take was dead on Thursday when I was on the way to the airport and on the one I always take, I have to stand. Rude.

I think I am starting to have a fall out with a lot of rooibos blends. It was the first kind of tea I really liked so that makes me sad. I’m just starting to not be a fan of the woodsy-sweet flavor of it, which is causing it to be the primary taste I get a lot of times.

I can finally taste blueberry now that I’ve let it cool way down, but meh. Rooibos, I have so many of you and now you’re blah to me :(

Jaime! You are awesome! Thanks so much for sending this one to me! I have been wanting to try it for a while!

At first sip I thought this was creamy and that was about it besides the honeybush/rooibos flavors but then I waited about 2 minutes at room temp…things changed from there on! The blueberry plumped right up and was tasty. There is still a great deal of creaminess to it. I’m not sure if I would say cheesecake-like but certainly creamy! As for aroma I can smell the blueberries slightly but not overly so. It is VERY dark in color once infused. The after taste is a blueberry and ends with a tiny floral taste.

This is nice! Oddly…and I don’t know if I would say this about many other tisanes…I enjoy the creamy flavor mixed with the blueberry…I appreciate the blueberry not tasting fake or too loud!

Another poorly stored sample, but worth a go, right? This smells tart like hibiscus but I don’t see any of the typical pink tinge. I get some sour rooibos as well, masking what I would otherwise presume to be tart blueberries. At five minutes, this tastes mainly of smoke. Like there is a fire a few kilometres away but a bit of the smoke has blown in on the wind. No tart, nor sweet, nor blueberry at all. If I could get the aroma to match the taste I would be a happy panda.

At 15 – 20 minutes I can finally get some blueberry flavour in there but it is so dominated by smoke that I am not interested in continuing. This is my fault so no rating. I wish I had drank this two years ago when it was still fresh.

Yummy! I’ve had this once with a little milk and sugar, and once mixed with Teavana’s Honeybush Vanilla (and milk and sugar) for an evening dessert tisane recently. Both were extremely yummy, but I like the Art of Tea blend untouched the best. They know their stuff and I should not mess with perfection. :) Nice berry flavor with a bit of creamy cheesecake on the end of the sip. Perfectly satisfying when craving something warm and sweet after dinner.

My cold brew of the day before I dash off to lab where we’re going to race apple snails. This one smells very rooibos-y in the bag, and the flavor is still there in the tea. It’s not as mediciney as some that I’ve had. It actually doesn’t taste too bad, and I wouldn’t mind it much except that it feels like it’s covering up the other flavors. I get blueberry, especially in the aftertaste. And I feel like there’s a bit of creamy sweetness going on here, but nothing that I would call cheesecake. I have enough to try this hot, so I’ll have to do that soon and compare.

Another swap with Will work for tea I have to say that this is a really nice blueberry tea. It’s a bit light, so I might have to try steeping it for a bit longer but overall it was just what I needed tonight. I really like that as the tea cools, the blueberry becomes a little more present in the tea. I’m also enjoying that this is a rooibos that i do like :) Would love to try this iced.

This was another tea taken from the Traveling Teabox during its stop at my place. It might be that this sample is rather old and lost it’s flavouring, but I’m not really getting much beyond rooibos and bit of fruity blueberry flavour out of this tea. I can’t taste anything even remotely resembling cheesecake, which is disappointing, especially since this tea has gotten a lot of good reviews.

This is way better than I thought it would be. I guess I have that idea that if it’s rooibos, I probably won’t like it mindset, when the reality is that I’ve not really had a lot of rooibos blends lately that I’ve disliked.

The blueberry flavor is strong here, and it has a nice creamy taste in the background. The rooibos and honeybush compliment each other well. Well balanced, flavorful. Really tasty!

(BACKLOG) This is quite good! Thank you to Jaime for the little sample! The smell is overwhelming at first! BLUEBERRY, BLUEBERRY, BLUEBERRY! I love the taste of blueberries and this definitely satisfied my need for a blueberry fix. I don’t know if I could taste the cheesecake, but more of a sour/odd flavor in the background. I was on the verge of saying “no” to the background taste.. but it makes it a bit more interesting. I suppose that I was concentrating on the sweet smell, taste and the blueberries and gulped it down too fast. I think I’ll have to try this one again (SLOWER this time) to see if I can get more of the cheesecake taste and not the cheesy-sour note. This is a pleasant dessert tea that requires no added sweetener. Yum!

oh my golly gosh!! IT TASTES LIKE BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE!! how can a tea taste so lovely?? haha… Im deffinately going to seeking this tea out again,, I love it with just a dash of milk, no sweeteners needed… ohh I’m still dreaming about this tea,, love it. just love it.
